Make Sports Dramatic
Posted by Goody on 04/15/08 in Writing and Speaking
A bit of drama should be inserted into any writing; just as a touch of humor helps smooth the way for dramatic pieces. For sports lovers, drama fills any good game. However, observing dramatic sports events and writing about them aren’t the same, unless one uses words to create what is seen, heard, felt, tasted, and smelled, brings the reader into the game.
At a sporting event, observers hear the jeers and cheers from people around them. The smell of a crisp autumn day at a football game or the sun-drenched breeze at a baseball game leaves a scent unforgettable. The plays that bring excitement or despair also send adrenalin pumping through veins. A hot dog’s mustard sharpness tingles on a muncher’s tongue. Details set the stage.
