\"PhotoWelcome back to our monthly columnist, Wyatt G. Bessing<\/a>. A writing coach, teacher and author, as he shares with us \u201cImpressions: A Game of Details.\u201d Enjoy! I really enjoy this month’s game. I hope you will too!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

In her book<\/strong> Thinking About Memoir<\/a>, <\/em>Abigail Thomas reminds us:<\/strong> \u201cDetails. Specifics. Eliminate all abstract nouns.\u201d Of course, this rule holds true for writing fiction as much as memoir. Whatever you write, use specific details to craft a full, believable world.<\/p>\n

I love how writing slows me down and makes me acutely aware of the vibrant moments of life. Like a photographer, I capture the poignant images of life, whether joyful, painful, or confusing. Steal from your own life judiciously, noting sensations, colors, all the specifics. Whereas a tourist might take a hundred photos and flip through them in a flash, hardly seeing each one, the job of a writer is crucial. We process these moments deeply, turning them over and considering the multiple perspectives and realities within them.<\/p>\n

The journal, therefore, is the most indispensable tool in any writer\u2019s toolbox.<\/strong> Keep a journal and write in it daily, recording your striking observations. Yesterday I went to the Sonoma County Fair and tried to fully observe and experience these moments. Sometimes the full impact of a particular experience won\u2019t settle in until later. The depth of a moment is difficult to understand at first, yet it haunts me, compelling further exploration. It\u2019s that sense of wonder and exploration that I want to impart to my readers. Now I\u2019m aching to use these moments in my writing, to slip these beautiful real world details into a fictional world.<\/p>\n

Each month I offer a game in this column. Like writing itself, games came be a wonderful way to break through the solid structures we\u2019re accustomed to in order to see the world in a new way.<\/p>\n

For this game, write down six observations of real life details.<\/strong> These are mine from the fair:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A pair of goats, mother and son, bullying a little pig in the petting zoo. Every time he\u2019d come close to sharing their spot in the hay-strewn field, they\u2019d turn, charge, and head butt him away.<\/li>\n
  2. Miniature worlds created in flower arrangements; tiny upturned pots as elven huts.<\/li>\n
  3. Distracted by my phone as the Ferris Wheel ascended, then looking up to find myself at the top, a hundred feet up, dizzily staring over the grounds and hills.<\/li>\n
  4. Getting my foot stuck between a giant rooster and a stallion as I dismounted the merry-go-round.<\/li>\n
  5. My mom\u2019s photo of a calla lily winning 2nd<\/sup> place when it obviously should have been 1st<\/sup>.<\/li>\n
  6. Aisles and\u00a0 aisles of poetry on partitions in the exhibit hall.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Next, choose a work-in-progress or begin a new piece of writing. \u00a0Roll a die to randomly select one of your observations to include in your writing.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    I roll a 3 \u2013 the Ferris wheel.<\/em><\/p>\n

    In relating the anecdote, consider the conflict in your story.<\/strong> My story is about a teenage girl who suddenly runs away even as she seems to have a good life and a loving relationship with her parents. When I include the Ferris wheel scene, I\u2019ll focus on that element, the shock of the scenery suddenly changing, the new perspective that leaves a sense of vertigo:<\/p>\n

    We\u2019d gone to the county fair the day she disappeared. I didn\u2019t think she\u2019d want to be seen with me, her embarrassing mom, but she stayed with me, and we even went on rides together. I was a little disappointed on the Ferris wheel when she disappeared into her phone to text her friends, then took a selfie before the gondola lifted off the ground. I don\u2019t think she realized how fast we were rising, because when she looked up from her phone we were at the top a hundred feet up, and she suddenly went pale.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \u201cAre you okay?\u201d I asked, trying to take her hand. She pulled away.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \u201cNo, I think I\u2019m going to hurl. We came up so quickly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

    Specific details resonate with readers.<\/strong> Like a lived experience, these moments capture something beyond the specific, becoming taproots to the universal. Guide your readers into deeper explorations by writing from the truth of experience.<\/p>\n
