I would like to pick up on a comment Fran made in her Flash thread talking about the character moving from river bank to boat, using the branch of a tree overhanging the water.
The bounce required a bit of planning - needs pace but yet to show readers what is happening very clearly. Now I'm still very green when it comes to writing prose and have a long way to go in terms of learning and improvement. How do you learn to get the balance right, becoming more aware of how you are writing? I tend to just write what I'm thinking or seeing, rather than taking an objective step back to consider the readers. I feel perhaps that my writing is still too distilled, missing out on the little details that bring a picture to life but I just don't think about it when writing. How do I develop that skill? When does conscious become subconscious or is it a case that you either have the ability or you don't? Nina |
