March 2006: With Feeling!
Last month I suggested that you describe an object, any object, using as many senses as you could to bring that pencil, book, stick of gum or whatever you chose to bring to life for your reader. This month let’s go a step farther. This time instead of choosing any object that might be in front of you, choose one that is important to you, one you have strong feelings about. The object doesn’t have to be right in front of you. It can be something you remember from the past. An old teddy bear. The flyswatter your brother used to chase you with. The piano you hate practicing . . . or the piano you love to play.
Do you have an object in mind? Now, describe it. Don’t tell, in your description, how you feel about the teddy bear or the flyswatter or the piano or whatever object you may have chosen. But describe it in a way that your readers will feel whatever it is the object makes you feel.
