10. Narrative Quick Write (37R) Think of an important event in your life that changed you in some way. This could be the birth of a sibling, the death of a person, moving to a new city/state, etc. This should not be going to the mall or getting an awesome pair of shoes. Write at least half a page telling of this event with as much detail as you can remember.

11. Details… Don't describe a waitress's eyes as blue - say they are as blue as the neon in the flickering sign outside Frankie's Grill. Without details… Grandmother Workman reached over and grabbed her grandson’s arm. He was nervous because the staircase was so steep, but she leaned against him and they began to climb.

12. With details… Grandmother Workman lurched over and grabbed the pale skin of Randal’s thin forearm with her leathery hand. The folds and creases beneath her skin coiled themselves out like electrical wiring, like the bloated, roughly-textured relief map of the world that his mother just posted above his bedside table. Randal looked ahead toward the winding spiral staircase, fidgeted with a small hole in his baseball jersey, and bit his lip. His mouth filled with the sweet, coppery taste of blood as she leaned in closely toward him, breathing her hot breath on the damp hair at the base of his neck. She smelled of wet cigarettes and bacon. As they slowly climbed the long, steep staircase, the only sound was his grandmothers’ labored breathing and the mournful creak of the wooden stairs.
