Journal #6

This chapter centered on how to effectively convey a location or scene within your writing. The author reminds us to consider appealing to all the senses and affirms the importance of word choice. I also liked how they mentioned the importance of a well placed simile, but making sure that you avoid cliches when writing them. The section about describing emotions really resonated with me as well. I often struggle to put my character’s feelings into words, especially when it is a complex or nuanced reaction to something. I liked how they explained how to describe things from the perspective of the character experiencing it, not from an outside, less immersed in context, point of view. In my own writing, I’m going to look to describe emotions and feelings without outright stating them and look for places where I can expand the thoughts characters may be having.
