The "CAT"erbury Tales

I know...I know...the title was way too cheesy, but what do expect from an old lady?? :)

I want to be entertained today, so.........go to YOUR blog and write a tale for me to read. It needs to make me shiver, sigh, shake my head, gasp, laugh or cry--actually I don't cry, so I would settle for goosebumps!!

I seriously want to FEEL something when I read your tale. I found the following advice here:

"Describe physical sensations so that your reader will feel it too. There are certain words, turns of phrase, cadences that trigger a similar physical reaction in your reader so they actually almost physically feel what the character feels.

I popped the lemon slice in my mouth, biting down hard on the soft fruit flesh, feeling the liquid squirt throughout my mouth, zapping my tongue.

Now confess, didn't your mouth pucker just a little? Didn't you start salivating a bit?
There were certain words in that sentence that triggered the physical reaction:
Lemon slice
Biting
Squirt
Zapping

I always start to salivate from just reading those words, because they're so powerful. They evoke a physical reaction from the reader because they trigger an emotional memory of biting into a lemon.

You want your physical descriptions of what the character feels to trigger emotional memory in the same way."

I also want to feel like I KNOW your character(s) by the end of the tale. I want a name(s) and LOTS of details about physical, emotional, psychological, and mental aspects of your character(s).

For those of you who insist on asking how long it has to be....it has to be long enough to do the things I have asked you to do...entertain, make me feel, and let me get to know!!

It can be about anything, but I want it to be completely fiction...not even BASED on a true story!!

Get busy!! :)
