Exercise
Monday, January 31st, 2011 - exercises
Think about everything you ate over the last 24 hours. Describe each food item, and every drink, in detail. Think of textures, tastes, how things smelled, how they looked. Remember, people in stories need to eat and what they chose to put in their mouths shows a reader a something about their character. As you do this food exercise, think about how writing about what someone eats or drinks reveals who they are on the page.
