Write What You Feel

Write What You Feel




It's simple to share our jobs and interests with readers, but when it comes to sharing actual feelings, many people turn to The Emotion Thesaurus or something similar. There's nothing wrong with that book, but if you rely on outside sources for your story's crucial emotional beats, you're cheating both your characters and your readers.

Most of us have experienced both the highs and lows of life by the time we reach our adolescence.
Channel those memories, relive them, and investigate how joy, pain, anger, and guilt impacted you both internally and externally. What were your thoughts like the first time you experienced true loss? On the happiest day of your life, how did your body react physically? You might think you don't have a frame of reference for a particular plot point, but chances are you do if you dig deep enough.
The ability to elicit emotions from the reader is one of the most powerful writing skills an author can have. Many readers turn to novels to be transported to a world of intense emotion, whether it's the grief of a loved one's death or the euphoria of first falling in love.
Evoking emotions in your readers can make them feel more invested in your characters and the story as a whole, whether you're a novelist, blogger, or short story writer.

Brainstorm your ideas and be a successful ballad maker.

 Brainstorm your ideas and be a successful ballad maker. Writing a love poem can be difficult because you want to avoid being too sappy or sentimental while remaining sincere. You may wish to compose a love poem for your partner or spouse as a romantic gesture or to commemorate a special occasion, such as your couple's anniversary. Begin by brainstorming ideas and thoughts for a love poem. The poem should then be written with sensory detail and unique descriptions. Polish the love poem and present it thoughtfully so that the recipient is aware of it got here from the heart. Begin by jotting down any words or phrases that come to mind when you think of the person for whom you are writing the poem. Concentrate on nouns, verbs, and adjectives that come to mind when you consider your feelings for the person. You can also approach the poem by focusing on a specific moment or experience with the person in which you felt loving toward them. Perhaps you have a vivid memory of meeting the...

Rhyming is not everything.

 Rhyming is not everything. When most people think of poetry, they probably picture elaborate rhyme patterns that poets use to organize their work. Whether contemporary poets, who are often prone to tossing old rhyme schemes away, like it or not, poetry is related to rhyme. Why do some poets choose to rhyme their poetry while others do not? We'll cover everything from why rhymes are important to sorts of rhymes, how to choose one, and why poets occasionally choose to employ unrhymed lines in their poetry in this post. Poems have a rhythm in general, but they don't necessarily rhyme. This is because rhyme is not the most significant aspect of a poem. A poem should instead convey (express) a feeling or an image that we can feel or see (or touch or hear or taste). Poems are frequently misunderstood as having to rhyme. True, if you want something to stick in people's heads or sound good, read-aloud rhymes can help. However, they aren't required. Even if a lot of current poe...

Slam Poetry

A poetry slam is an art competition where poets perform spoken word poetry in front of a live audience and a panel of judges. At a poetry slam, poets compete as individuals or in teams, and their performances are judged as much on excitement and style as on content. The judging is normally done by a panel of five judges, who are usually chosen from the audience. The response of the audience can sometimes be used to judge the poets. Members of the crowd are picked by an emcee or host to serve as judges in a poetry slam. There are five judges at the national slam, although regional slams usually have three. Following each poet's performance, each judge assigns a score to each poem. The scores usually range from zero to ten. The top and lowest scores are removed, leaving each performance with a score between 0 and 30. The host will frequently introduce a "sacrificial" poet before the competition begins, whom the judges will grade to calibrate their judging. At a typical slam...
