Okay, now for the big one. Take this snippet from Twilight and try and turn it into something intense and gothic and Dracula-esque.

  • You'll need to add lots of new details.
  • Refer to your pictures and word lists for ideas.
  • Make the environment active, not just the characters.
  • Expand heavily.
  • Use connectors to help you construct long sentences: which, and, though, that, after, for...
  • Find some juicy, intense actions and qualities.
  • Use the descriptive details to advance the story—each new element should make Bella's situation worse.

The street was lined on both sides by blank, doorless, windowless walls. I could see in the distance, two intersections down, streetlamps, cars, and more pedestrians, but they were all too far away. Because lounging against the western building, midway down the street, were the other two men from the group, both watching with excited smiles as I froze dead on the sidewalk. I realized then that I wasn't being followed.

I was being herded.

I paused for only a second, but it felt like a very long time. I turned then and darted to the other side of the road. I had a sinking feeling that it was a wasted attempt. The footsteps behind me were louder now.
