Great examples. I was struggling to describe silence recently in a WIP. You've given me some fresh ideas.

I like the idea of being able to add a quiet moment in a book, I agree that it shares an emotion with the people that are reading the book. One I love to use is when the night fell silent and only the stars and the moon are having their conversation.

Margie, I love how you identify these small moments that we all use and show us how to make them work double and triple duty. Great bullet list!

Wow! Very fresh writing! I need to add "quiet" and "silence" to my list to make sure I write them fresh and impactful. Thank you to all the authors who contributed their work for this blog! Y'all rock! And thank you to Margie for taking me to the next levels. XOXO

Thank you so much for this post. I just had some "silence" in a paragraph and thanks to you, I can now write it fresh, because what I wrote made me cringe.

In reply to Margie Lawson. Hi, Margie, this is Claudia Shelton. For some reason my post went through as claudiathewriter and thus you didn't know who was writing. Of course I've already enjoyed your lectures and am an Immersion Master Class grad, but your post on silence amped up an area I hadn't realized needed work. Thanks!
