>>> Item number 22845 from WRITERS LOG9312C --- (24 records) ----- <<< Date: Sun, 19 Dec 1993 18:35:02 JST Reply-To: WRITERS Sender: WRITERS From: Mike Barker Subject: EXERCISE: Little Stuff... Take a common action, such as a waiter getting the order for food from your character. Something very simple like that, preferably with a "spear carrier." Now, take five (5) emotions from this list: Amazement, Anger, Boredom, Desire, Envy, Fear, Greed, Grief, Happiness, Hate, Jealousy, Joy, Love, Pity, Pride, Shame, Spite, Surprise, Worry, Worship. CHALLENGE: For each emotion, write the same scene, showing the reader which emotion your character is feeling. Don't use the word for the emotion - show us! Incidentally, don't take the easy way out and let your character feel this strong emotion for a mere "spear carrier" on the scene - make the object of the emotion another character, off-scene right now! And they're writing... tink
