Exploding the Moment Using Snaps and Thoughts to Explode the Moment

Exploding the Moment  What is it? When a moment is slowed waaaay down for the purpose of painting a frame-by- frame picture for your reader… Snapshots Thoughtshots  Flashbacks  Flashforwards  Present thoughts

“He walked through the doorway.” He grasped the cold doorknob and turned it slowly to the right. He pushed the door inward. The hinges squeaked and cold air rushed past the opening door. The room was dark. He darted his eyes to the right. Nothing. He pushed the door open a little farther, and slowly moved his right foot into the room. His shoe creaked a bit as it hit the polished hardwood floor.

Exploding the Moment  I woke up late this morning--as usual. I had no clean clothes and the fridge was next to bare. Traffic was heavy as I sped to work. Some jerk cut me off and I almost had a wreck. At work I went to my desk and there was a note to go and see the boss. I waited outside her office for a while before she called me in. I couldn’t figure out why she wanted to see me. I went inside and sat down. My boss handed me an envelope. She told me that my services were no longer needed and that I was free to go. I got my belongings from my desk and left. The drive home was quick. I am now unemployed.

Exploding the Moment SSome jerk cut me off and I almost had a wreck. SSome jerk cut me off and I almost had a wreck. I hate people who can’t drive. I decided to teach him a little lesson by playing near bumper cars with his bright red 300 ZX. He kept hitting his brakes, and eventually even shook a fist of rage at me. I giggled gleefully-- kind of like that lady in Fried Green Tomatoes who got immense pleasure from repeatedly rearending the car of the person who had stolen her parking space. Space is crucial, and that jerk will probably think twice before he cuts into mine again.

 Select a sentence  Explode that sentence  Provide your reader with a frame-by- frame picture of the action (details)  Provide your reader with insights into the character’s thoughts
