Targeted Intention
Perspective. It's a concept with which visual artists are intimate. They consider how a picture is viewed--angle, lighting, color. Writers also deal with perspective. Whose perspective is guiding the story? Is it first person or third person? Most writers are familiar with these writing concepts, but did you realize that perspective comes into play when you're describing something from your mind's eye? The way you see things and translate them for your reader creates mood, setting and time. Study the picture above. What does it suggest to you? Are you inspired to let go a little Steampunk, or Victorian romance, or a futuristic description of post-apocalyptic proportions?
So, here's the challenge: Write a sentence or a paragraph and share it with us in the comments section of this entry. Really study this picture and after you're done writing, click on the image to see the original. Things may surprise you!
