Creative Awareness

What is this couple thinking

Exercise: What is this couple really thinking? Take into account all of the things that can impact what they say and what they do. Do they have a secret? What external pressures are they facing? What is their mission? This will help you write their words and behavior with the underlying subtext driving the plot in this room.

Why: The subtext is the implicit meaning of a text. It gives the reader information about characters, plot, and the story’s context as a whole. Great fiction writers and even non-fiction writers weave subtext through their work to communicate an underlying emotion and motives. It makes their prose richer and their dialogue more nuanced.

Enhances Creative Awareness which includes fine-tuning alertness to aesthetics, empathy, and drinking the world around you.
