As an author, it is so vital to stand out.
Do you enjoy reading anything boring or cliched?
No! We are all captivated by something original, novel which makes us want to find out more!
How do I do that?
Easy!
Your first step is to dig deep into your own experiences. You might think you don't have that many experiences but then you are lucky, simple everyday experiences can be the most exciting.
Take the example below:
Silently, she walked up the aisle (1). She stopped and the entire class stared not daring to breathe(2). Slowly, her right arm placed a book on Peter's table. He looked straight ahead not batting one eyelid, his eyes half closed and his head bent almost in prayer. (1)
"Next time, don't read during assembly," she murmured (2).
(1) Used Sense of sight
(2) Used Sense of hearing
I am sure you all remember that incident.
Then make good use of your observations in your writing to transport the reader into your story, helping him/her see exactly what you are describing!
