| Plot: Once you find your premise, your setting, and characters, create a rough outline of the story. Exposition: Set the scene and introduce the characters. Inciting incident: Have something happen in the story to start the action. Rising action: Continue the story, building excitement and suspense. Climax: Include a moment that holds the most tension in the story. Falling action: These are events that occur after the climax. Resolution: Here, the character solves the main problem. Denouement: This is the ending in which the characters resolve any remaining questions. |
An example of how clumsy I am: I wrote 35 entries to my poetry blog and thought I deleted one entry. So I purged that one entry, I thought. I purged the whole blog by mistake instead! These are the moments you wished you weren't here but somewhere else. Breath in, breath out and start over. There is not much else to do. And keep away from that bin! |
| I have problems with the concept of SHOW, DON'T TELL mechanics in writing. One task for the coming months: fleshing out my writings. Show, don't tell is a technique often employed in various kinds of texts to enable the reader to experience the story through action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the author's exposition, summarization, and description. (Wikipedia) On short stories: "Writing Short Stories" by Holly Abidi  On flash fiction: "Invalid Item" by A Guest Visitor On showing: "Invalid Item" by A Guest Visitor On Show, don’t tell: "Show Don't Tell" by Vivian  , "Creating Motion in Fiction" by Joy  Example of Show, don’t tell: "Bitches and Toms " by Danger Mouse  Just to keep everything together in one place: On Writing and Reviewing:"On reviewing and writing" On blogging:"The vulture and the blog" On Grammar: "Writing and grammar" |
| June and Jennifer Gibbons (born 11 April 1963; Jennifer died March 1993) were identical twins who grew up in Wales. They became known as "The Silent Twins" since they only communicated with each other. They began writing works of fiction but turned to crime in a bid for recognition. The crime they committed was apparently arson. Both women were committed to Broadmoor Hospital where they were held for 14 years. Thoughts: Interesting couple. How do you write about secret communications? A special code they developed? Three Secret Codes for Kids: 1. Reverse the Words. 2. Half-Reversed Alphabet. Write out the letters from A to M then write the letters from N to Z directly below them. 3. Read Every Second Letter. |
