跟JK Rowling学写作

Potter books teach me the concept of creative writing, because of J.K. Rowling's ability to paint pictures so clearly in words that we can see them in our own minds. She captures the physical and psychological aspects of her characters so thoroughly that we can truly feel for them as we would our closest friends when reading about their adventures. This is a unit I designed to teach students how to wrire about characters and settings effectively.
 
Maximise your impact on audiences, If I said to you I saw a big cat yesterday, or I said I saw a monstrous cat yesterday, as wide as a freight train and as long as a mack-truck. I think you would have a much better picture in your mind for second way. Because big is a fairly subjective word and we all interpreting it in different ways, never underestimate the use of detail to paint the picture. In relation to the word, I need to learn use the descriptive words to convey the depth of the emotion feeling, such asan interest in one subject.
 
Examples from Harry Potter where J.K.Rowling has descibed her characters in such precise detail:As she stepped into the light flooding from the Entrance Hall, she was revealed to have a handsome, olive-skinned face, large, black, Liquid-looking eyes and a rather beaky nose. Her hair was drawn back in a shining knob at the base of her neck. She was dressed from head to foot in black satin, and many magnificent opals gleamed at her throat and on her thick fingers.
 
The point is that the more descriptive we can be in our writing, the more effectively we are able to paint a picture that the audience can see in their own minds. That is what effective creative writing is all about. Therefore, I need to read some book or article and learn the creative way to describe a story.
