Blog #4: Working the Scene

Our drafts are due this coming weekend.  With that in mind, let's use this week's blog to get ahead.  For blog post #4, share a scene that will be a part of your longer memoir.  Use the blog to practice really fleshing the sensory details out and pulling us deep into the moment.  This might be several paragraphs long.  If so, begin with your camera lens panned wide--showing us the place, who's in the place with you, what the general action is that is occurring.  Be conscious of the details you choose in how they evoke a particular mood and feeling.  Then, begin to zoom your lens in.  Let us see specific details.  Let  us hear dialogue.  Let the scene begin and move through descriptive action from there.
