Recipe for Writing
So, here is the recipe:
Ingredients: Setting the scene, Tuning in the ear, Developing the character, Creating the action, The resolution.
Method:
1. Bring your reader into a powerful setting of the scene where your story is to unfold. It helps to imagine that you have a digital camera and have taken a photo of the place where your story is to happen.
2. Introduce some sound into the scene to further engage the senses of the reader.
3. Have your character appear dramatically within the setting. We should get to know something of this character by the way you portray them.
4. Create the action that will bind the reader into the story and continue to develop this to the penultimate moment.
5. Resolve the story with some revisiting of the initial scene, the sounds or the character that was central to the storyline but something has changed - perhaps forever. Leave your reader with something magic to hold on to.
