Welcome back to my series of insights into what it\u2019s like to undertake the <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/ultimate-novel-writing-programme\/\">Ultimate Novel Writing Programme<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No sooner had I cogitated on the aspects of character last month, when along came month five with its deeply intricate topic: emotions and senses. Never let it be said that the Ultimate Novel Writing Programme doesn\u2019t deliver on detailed information, techniques and tips, and \u2018Ah! I hadn\u2019t thought about it like that\u2026\u2019 moments. My brain is full, straining at its zips, like an overstuffed holiday suitcase. And, just like a packed suitcase, I\u2019m off on yet another happy writing adventure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a certain angle, however, this topic feels like home. I\u2019m writing in literary genre, so my stories are quiet in terms of dramatic plot action, but tend to go deep into character. I\u2019m interested in <em>all<\/em> the questions about why people feel and behave the way they do. And I\u2019m trying really hard to get better at seeing the emotional signs, the expected reactions, the <em>un<\/em>expected reactions and the detail of what the situational experience involves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In martial arts, boxing and self-defence, students are taught to watch out for micro-movements: \u2018tells\u2019 or \u2018tags\u2019 like dropping a shoulder before a punch, shifting weight before a kick \u2013 even as tiny a \u2018read\u2019 as their eyes focussing on a point on your body. All of these can telegraph what the attack might be and help to quicken your response and choice of defensive move. The work authors have to do, to portray realistic, plausible emotion and sensations, isn\u2019t too far off what a karate practitioner needs to do (less being thrown around, obviously!) My family are used to me constantly people-watching and being asked out-of-the-blue, random questions that begin with \u201cHow would you feel if\u2026?\u201d or \u201cWhat\u2019s your first thought if\u2026?\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of us are so normal, average and \u2018everyman\u2019 on the surface. But we\u2019re also, all of us, having a deeply existential experience on a massive spinning rock travelling at thousands and thousands of miles per hour, whilst hurtling towards an unknowable destination. Some of that internal truth \u2013 the marvel, the passion, the love, sadness, anger, resentment, the frustration, the happiness, the joy \u2013 it leaks outwards onto our surface, in tiny tells. It is this that a writer must become adept at seeing and noting. Then, \u2018all\u2019 we have to do is write it down with precision and brevity, as judicious as a scavenging crow, as shrewd and wily as a fox. Probably the best compliment I, as an author, could ever receive would be something like: \u201c<em>her writing is so observant, her storytelling beautifully astute<\/em>.\u201d I\u2019m looking forward to seeing that in print one day in one of the big-name newspapers (big hairy audacious dreams are the <em>best<\/em> sort to have!)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this month\u2019s topic, I\u2019ve been thinking about the emotions and senses of the act of writing itself, of being a writer and trying to achieve big writing goals, and I realise how fractal this topic is. It is as if I am folding in on myself when I consider how to portray characters\u2019 emotions and senses. The whole magical alchemy of it, the macro and the micro existing on the same pin-head. Or, as the legendary figure, Hermes Trismegistus put it: as above, so below, as within, so without. I find myself writing stories of emotion and sensation in order to describe the experience of learning the skills to write stories with emotion and sensation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m attempting something in my work-in-progress that is really technically challenging for me. I\u2019m playing against certain conventions of narrative tension and introducing slippery point-of-view perspectives \u2013 issues that may trip me up if I\u2019m not careful. Frankly, I\u2019ve been questioning why I\u2019m being so reckless. The answer comes to me in the form of a story. A memory. I am aged nineteen and I\u2019m galloping across the stubble of a harvested corn field on my chestnut gelding. There\u2019s a big oxer of a hedge ahead of us, a wide, dark ditch at its base, and that horse of mine was infamous for dropping a shoulder half a stride out from fences and throwing me. Regardless, I gallop him towards it, pressing my heels into his sides, standing up in the stirrups, encouraging him to go, go, <em>go<\/em>. I\u2019m counting down the strides with the thunder of his hooves as my metronome, my fingers entangled in his mane, wiry as twine against my knuckles; an attempt to fool myself I\u2019ll be able to hold on, be safe, if something goes wrong. And the moment comes. I\u2019m out of strides. I\u2019ve either asked him for the right take-off point and he\u2019ll obey, lifting, leaping, flying up and across, into the summer blue&#8230; Or I\u2019ve misjudged it and he\u2019ll duck out on me, throwing me down there into that black ditch of brambles.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did I make it to the other side of that long-ago leap? Yes, I did.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will I succeed with this W-i-P and the portrayal of character I\u2019m attempting? To be decided.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing\u2019s for sure, the structure and accountability that the<a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/creative-writing-courses\/ultimate-novel-writing-programme\/\"> Ultimate Novel Writing Programme<\/a> demands of me \u2013 and the ongoing support of my tutor group and my tutor, Andrew Miller (longlisted for this year\u2019s Booker Prize with his latest book, <em>The Land in Winter<\/em> \u2013 again, huge congratulations, Teach!) \u2013 is definitely giving me the courage to kick on.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rachel Davidson is a long-term Premium Member of Jericho Writers prior to joining our Writer Support Team, Rachel loves helping hopeful writers, such as herself, to solve their problems and take a step or two closer to achieving their writing dreams.
