Show of hands
Instructions of what to write are hidden next to the dots below. Do one step at a time to release you from concern about where a piece might be headed. You’re not concerned about story. You’re just doing one step at a time.
So don’t peek ahead! Highlight the text beyond the dot one line at a time (the last instruction is long so is actually two lines). (If for some reason that doesn’t reveal the text, just copy and paste one line at a time into your document and change the color to black.)
- Describe someone’s hands.
- Describe something they’re doing with their hands.
- Someone else enters the scene.
- Describe your character’s emotions about this new person just through their hands.
The slide show is from Guido Danielle. There are more examples at his website.
