Hebrews 9:19 "For
when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he
took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and
hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,"
Our stories appear so
clearly in our heads, we can’t believe readers can’t picture the scene. We’re
like the two year old who sees his reflection in the mirror and believes we
also see him when he hands us the mirror to look into.
So we have to make sure we
give out the details of our scene, our characters, their actions, and
motivations. We have to describe the setting well enough that the readers see
what we see in our imaginations.
We have to find actions for our characters to take that clearly represent their personalities. And we have to give our characters a chance to think through their situation in order to give detail to their motivations.
