It's a challenge for me, one I'm constantly working on, to let the silences carry for a while and to see what comes out of them.

Konisburg talked about it at one of her presentations at SCBWI. I'm going to track it down.<br /><br />Just even reading about white space slows my respiration down and makes me take deep, oxygenating breaths.<br /><br />When you create a white space in your writing and speaking, not only does it provide you a moment of consciousness and wakefulness, it invites your reader to join you in same-- that is a gift.<br /><br />[ [ [ [ [ [ [ s p a c e ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] to you all!<br />MaryMary Hersheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17268062901264527270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-47287016571002021472009-11-25T18:26:25.464-08:002009-11-25T18:26:25.464-08:00Great post, Robin!

When I read to my students, I often pause at critical points in the story to allow time for certain plot points sink in, to grab their attention and build suspense. Sometimes when a class is a little noisy, I'll just wait in silence while I stare at them. For some reason, my silent stares are vastly more affective than a lot of arm waving and attempts to talk above them.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321805301687762360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-54405909346011603802009-11-25T18:21:34.409-08:002009-11-25T18:21:34.409-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Stellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321805301687762360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-2531262523462406612009-11-24T15:47:47.277-08:002009-11-24T15:47:47.277-08:00This is so striking :).

The fear that if we don't spell out every detail that nobody will get it keeps us explaining until we achieve what we feared most: The message of our work is lost.

I always think pauses are so effective, and I agree, Alexie uses them masterfully.<br /><br />My family is a big fan of So You Think You Can Dance, and we've commented the past season or two how frantic the solos always feel. Even in an only 30-second dance, it's SO effective to have that brief pause in there once or twice. That way the dance feels meaningful, not chaotic. <br /><br />I'm getting ready to design my school visits for this winter/spring, and I'm going to have to keep that in mind.<br /><br />And--yay, I won! Can't wait to read the prize book. Thank you:>)<br /><br />One last thing: I've recd the Self-Promotion for Introverts book and will be reading it and interviewing Nancy once I'm home from vacation.<br /><br />Now, back to trying to write during a family visit--talk about no white space!laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.com
