TIME HEART PURPOSE AND STRATEGY

Imply

Puzzel

The readers attention will follow the characters attention

Give the reader the same evidence the character acted on

Give evidence to backup claims of feelings, knowledge...

Don't tell your conclusion of the characters feelings, instead show the character's actions and let the reader deduce their emotions.

The reader will be emersed if the character naturally reacts.

But emersion will be broken if the reader detects the writer butting in with his opinions or facts

Trust readers are smart enough to make their own deductions/conclusions

Hide fact reader is working for payoff

Give 2+2 but don't give 4

Make the reader Feel

-Make the reader work (to consider what it means to feel that way because they haven't heard it described like that and in the process they will try on the feeling and feel it themselves.

-Earn the emotion (On one hand The good Doctor S5E7 earns the emotion, on the other hand Star Trek Discovery tries to evoke emotion from their character every other scene even though the situation hasn't earned it because they haven't put in the long work to build the relationships first before they put them in jeopardy or what not.)

Scenes

Action Scenes

Let the reader know what everybody is generally doing then get back to your main character.

Don't do a blow by blow account.

italic the characters inner mental and emotional states about once a page

Dial down the metephors, but when you do use them, don't be flowery, and use the characters voice to define what metephor they would use.

What is the purpose of the action scene?

What makes an action scene fun?

showing the characters making connections

using resources in interesting ways

being clever

Use alpha readers to see if they get bored or lost.

Relationships

real relationships

guess what the other person is thinking and being wrong

making mistakes for what you thought was a good reason but wasn't

fumbling

reasons to relate

simular interest

complimenting abilities

fun

coencidences, can add to the romance

trying and failing, getting closer but then a wrench gets thrown in

Comedy

Match your humor with the tone of your story

Setup forshadow whats coming following through with what the reader expects then at the last second switcherooed

Jack Oneil Sarcastic

Sarcastic

sarcastic nots

unsure where to go

childish glee

not understanding what geniuses are saying

stoping people from stopping a situation he wants to continue

gets caught up on pronounciations

mistake one word another character uses for another with a funny alternate meaning

getting lost halfway though an explaination and pushing through anyways causing a snowball effect of hilarity

An older person acting like a little kid

Matt Smith Doctor Child

being offended about not being acclaimed

Insecure about himself, bod, mistakes

Making uncool cool

Argueing with himself

fully expressing his fit and then growing up in an instant getting onto others for throwing fits or dillydallying

Arguing that something isn't and suprise what it is when the reader thought the character meant it was something else obviously

His coping mechinism to being insulted for something he wears or dances is to say its cool but your not cool enough to realise it

Mr Bean Physical

Lessons

Heist Scenes

Grab team, teach newby(meaning the others have a repour of doing something on this scale before that is understood, so give them a job in a past life(journal) like this),

explain problems, break into pieces, piece missing, solve piece in novel suprise

compare w italian job, which goes dif, because the target changes throwing out their planning so they have to improvize., but if u make the reader work as hard as the characters and make them loose that work with them, you could just reference the work, or let the characters reapply the preperation to the new problems.

World Building

Iceburg (you see the top but there is all this foundation beneath it that you dont see but you can sense if its missing.)

Treat your world like a cast of characters

Personality

Exsisted before the book

Quirks

Things happen there not related to the plot

Flaws and strengths(challenges vs things that are easy in this world)

Playlists and Pintrest

Our brain uses prejudice to size up a situation, or room, or stranger super quickly, and we can take advantage of this with pintrest and playlists to stimulate that modeling skill and fleshing out the scenes making them come alive
