Write five to seven sentences about something that happened to you or something you observed recently. After a day or two, read what your wrote. Did you capture something of what you felt at the time? Write about the incident now, making sure to capture what you felt. Congratulations. You’ve just turned a report into a story. Think about re-reading these sentences later or showing them to someone else. Do you think whoever reads what you’ve written will relate or care about the person writing the story?
