blog this week: performance writing troubles
Even though this story should be fun-to observe a person performing for an audience- I have found it difficult. It is difficult because I am finding it hard to describe the scene without being overly decriptive or corny. I am also finding it hard to decide upon the angle that I want to take my story. Do I want to have more description and less background details about the performer's life or do I want to have a balance of both??? All of these issues have me staring at my blank computer and my notes wondering how to even begin.

OK, let me correct a point here, the assignment was not to write a story, but a descriptive segment that could fit into a larger story :)
ReplyDeleteThis means, you should have mainly focused on the scene or performance itself and not worry so much about the background UNLESS the background is important for your audience to get what this performance is about.
