Filling the White SpacesOpening the writers' tool kit
Begin with Plot
Story starts with something new.
Setting is like leaf lard
Add just enough so people enjoy the flavor, but can't tell what's in it.
Character: find one idiosyncrasy
Just one.
Have an intentional time.
Exposition =Fast
Scene and dialog=Slow
You Love the Sound of Your Own Voice
Read your work out loud.
Read other people's work out loud.
Writing Exercise
Write about one new thing that happened today.
Add one detail for: ● Setting ● Character
Choose your time.
