Writing that communicates like a movie camera eliminates telling the reader what to think. It records the situation in sights, sounds, scents and tastes. This camera has no adjectives to clutter nouns and adverbs to rob verbs of their intensity. It pans the landscape of ideas with angles and occasionally flips upside down for perspectives.
When writing, notice the space beyond and between objects you describe. How can you bring in more texture and connections? Let nature inform your writing and fire your curiosity.
Creative Write: Explore your complexities against a backdrop of the natural world. Avoid using abstractions like hope and love and beautiful. Dive into your mental landscape and show it to the reader.
