WRITING OBSTACLE
Write a short dialogue that reveals much more about the narrator than the person they are talking to.
Often when writing from the narrator’s perspective, the reader’s attention is on what the narrator is seeing and hearing. By inverting this, a great sense of character can be created. What does their conversation reveal to the reader?
on the run.
i nod, not listening to what she is saying to me. instead my eyes are flitting around, noting all possible exits, and watching every single person in the cafe. closely. my eyes land on the mirror, watching the people eat and serve behind me. my constantly moving eyes finally stop- on me.
to the outside person, im a calm picture. however on the inside, im a nervous wreck. i fidget with my hands, i shift on my feet routinely and i make sure im constantly ready to get up and run. my eyes, blue in colour, sweep my body, trying to work out any possible chinks in my armour. my hair, tied back for easier getaway, is brown. a change from the blonde i had last week, and the black i had before that.
"are you listening to me?" i look back at her and nod. i smile and shoulder my pack before patting her shoulder in goodbye. being in the run isnt fun, but what acn you do when youre the most wanted person in the nation?
