┕━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━┙
Let's study further about writing. Alam na ninyo ang Show vs. Tell at How to Write Emotions. Itong Five Senses naman ay ang pinaka-importante para effective ang writing ninyo. Parang basic guide na ninyo ito para maisulat ang mood at emosyon ng kuwento.
Q: What are the five kinds of senses?
A: Sight, Smell, Hearing, Taste and Touch.
I'll give you guys an example kung papaano ako magsulat. The lessons Show vs. Tell, How to Write Emotions and Five Senses will be applied. Copy-paste lang ito from my upcoming novel SKYE. Pasensya na kung English ang example. 😆 Dito ako mas sanay:
SIGHT
Sighing shortly, I tipped my farmer's hat when the sun's ray shone on me like a spotlight, casting several shadows of cumulus clouds throughout the vast field of pasture and crops.
SMELL
As soon as Bessy disappeared from my sight, I wrinkled my nose when the smelly stench of poop invaded my nostrils. My head spun like a spinning top toy and my stomach constricted, gagging not once but twice. I tried not to breathe through my mouth but it was futile.
HEARING
"Be right back, Bessy. I'll rinse my mouth-"
Something squirted out.
It sounded like a bottle of chocolate syrup being squeezed hard until the air along with the brown liquid produces a loud fart.
TASTE
"What do you want, you stubborn cow-"
Her tail suddenly got caught in between my mouth.
"Yuck! Gross!"
Sputtering loudly, I inched away from her and rapidly wiped my lips with my sleeve. The earth and grass seeped into my taste buds and it tasted like fresh veggies and fertilizer. The mixed smell kind of exploded inside my throat like when you accidentally bite a black pepper or swallow a piece of red chili, rubbing against your esophagus. I almost threw up as the barn in front of me split for a second.
TOUCH
I made my way to the left corner of our house and turned on the faucet installed here. Warm water gushed out from its mouth and it landed on my stinking feet and slipper, washing away the poop into the drainage.
Kung gusto ninyo makita ang buong example ng isang chapter, nasa Chapter 1 lang ng SKYE: (https://my.w.tt/hEebGh8pJQ).

Importane na ma-describe ninyo ang mga ito para effective ang writing ninyo. Dapat maramdaman talaga ng readers 'yong mismong kuwento ninyo at sila ang karakter. Mas maigi kung may critic na magbabasa ng kuwento ninyo para alam ninyo kung mayroon bang emosyon o may kulang pa kayo.
Halimbawa sa SIGHT. Kapag nagki-critic ako, kadalasan ay nakakalimot ang mga writer na i-describe ang paligid at kung ano man ang nakikita dapat ng karakter. Naghahalikan si Babae at Lalaki pero nasa kawalan. 😂 Hindi kasi na-describe ang setting bago dumating do'n. White Room Syndrome! Kung ibe-base mo ang drawing mo sa nakasulat lang na descriptions, parang nag-drawing ka ng dalawang tao pero white background lang. Di ba? Nasaan ang imagination ng writer?
Tandaan: Trabaho natin bilang isang manunulat ang tulungan ang mga mambabasa na mailarawan ang kuwento natin. Hindi lahat kayang maka-imagine. Alisin sa isipan ang, "Bahala na sila mag-imagine." Naging writer pa tayo e iyon ang trabaho natin. 😐 Kung marunong mag-Tagalog ang western writers (at ibang asians), maririndi lang tayo sa advice nila. Fried human na tayong lahat. Alam ko ang iba sa inyo ay makaka-relate sa sinasabi ko. 😂
Descriptions convey mood. Mag-Google kayo kung hindi ninyo alam ang tawag sa mga bagay o kung paano mag-construct ng descriptions. Gumawa kayo ng sarili ninyo, huwag gayahin ang iba. Practice makes perfect din. Hayaan ninyo 'yong mga ayaw magbasa ng descriptions or nabo-bored sa mga ganyan. Basta kayo, just keep aiming higher to be a professional writer. Walang labis, walang kulang. Saktong descriptions lang. Alamin ninyo 'yong mga rules. Huwag kayong mag-alala kung may mga mali pa rin kayo. Lahat ng mga manunulat ay ganyan, kahit ako. 😊

Q: Kailangan ba lahat ng senses ay ilagay sa eksenang nangyayari?
A: Hindi naman. Kung ano lang ang importanteng sense na dapat nandoon sa eksena, ilagay ninyo. Depende talaga. Minsan lahat ng senses ay nailalagay. Kung gusto ninyo ng mga halimbawa, magbasa kayo ng published books para alam ninyo ang execution ng ibang authors. Ika nga,
"A good reader is a good writer."
