As an editor and a book coach, I have found my writing world greatly enhanced by the tools and techniques and mindset I&#8217;ve been learning in my\u00a0practitioner\u00a0training at <a title=\"NLP Marin\" href=\"http:\/\/nlpmarin.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">NLP Marin<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get do it! The three tools are to ask what your character is:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Thinking<\/li>\n<li>Feeling<\/li>\n<li>Doing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When you make sure there is a balance of all three within a scene, then your story will feel rich, real, embodied and hopefully, if you&#8217;ve done your job well, compelling and memorable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thinking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is your character thinking? This is for when you&#8217;ve painted a picture of their actions or have described the inner emotional landscape, but have forgotten that inner dialogue. Just a line will do.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example from my sequel to <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Henrietta-Dragon-Slayer-Kingdoms-ebook\/dp\/B004P8K292\/\" target=\"_blank\">Henrietta The Dragon Slayer<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Henrietta jogged in place, did some stretches and circled the small room a few times. Then she climbed the wall to harness herself in above the door. <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Nothing told her anyone was coming, but she had to be ready for anything<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Your inner thought can be in italics of not.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Feeling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What is your character feeling? You can describe the emotions or the sensations in the body. You can also use metaphor or a simile to describe metaphor. Whichever part of feeling your use, pick the most telling and\u00a0memorable\u00a0detail and use that.<\/p>\n<p>Again, an example from my sequel to\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Henrietta-Dragon-Slayer-Kingdoms-ebook\/dp\/B004P8K292\/\" target=\"_blank\">Henrietta The Dragon Slayer<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Then she heard it, footsteps, multiple pairs, and some shuffling. More than one person coming. She sawed on the nail she&#8217;d positioned to work on her wrist bonds. <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">S<\/span><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">he was getting really tired of having her wrists bound. She ignored the pain in her back and legs, and neck, and stomach<\/span><\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Doing<\/strong><br \/>\nWhat is your character doing? Describe it so someone outside of you can see it. No need to describe every little action. Often a beginners mistake.<\/p>\n<p>I have a quote on my wall that reminds me of my job as a storyteller: &#8220;Capture the flavor. Don&#8217;t list the ingredients.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To continue\u00a0the scene:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>If there was a chance of getting out of here she&#8217;d take it.<br \/>\nShe was more than ready to face Alfonso, face her past and save her friends. In a burst of inspiration, <strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">she stopped sawing on her rope bonds and tugged more nails out of the wall<\/span><\/strong>. She had a use for them and she had to hurry to implement her plan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As you can see from the start of the scene I describe, a lead in to the climatic scene of the book, I combine thinking feeling, and doing throughout, braiding them together as I create the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Try it on a scene you&#8217;re working on and let me know how it goes!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re curious about\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bethbarany.com\/services.html\">getting editing support to create a compelling and memorable novel from Beth Barany and her team<\/a>, you can go\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bethbarany.com\/contact.html\">here<\/a>.
