Feel It.. Write It… Communicate It

Write from experience…

Write what you know

Let readers feel your pain

And revel in your glow

*

Let them cry alongside you

When someone passed

Chuckle at your snickers

When someone passed gas

*

Make it real… Make it tangible

So they hear the barn owl’s screech…

Smell the smoke of the campfire

Taste the salt of the beach

*

Brush their cheek against soft swaddling

Feel your pride as you hold your newborn

Taste baby spit as finger enters mouth

Grimace as diaper becomes suddenly warm

*

As new romance hits the horizon

Blaze with heat from passionate fire

When love requited be not scorned

Make readers burn with aching desire

*

Let them see the sunrise

Feel the morning fog

Smell the opening rosebud

Hear crunch of leaves beneath mossy log

*

Make readers cringe in disgust

As slime coated leeches crawl into a mouth

Or scream loudly in terror

As fangs and claws rend their way south

*

Yes writers, this is your job

But if you can’t make readers

Laugh, cry, smile, frown, cringe, blush, or scream

Just feel it yourself… Only don’t mislead her
