...detail stuff

detail is real important in writing. its that little stuff that could make what you write lots more alive. if you get some detail into your writing the readers not gonna be bored. mostly it doesnt just pop out at you and you gotta do some thinking on when it could be needed and how much you could want to use. too much is just as bad as not enough.
x
when you start thinking about details you gotta learn to look around and see stuff a different way. heres what i mean. just think about brushing your teeth. thats easy. but if you think about those details in brushing your teeth you could be real surprised at how much of them there are. what color is my toothbrush? does it have hard soft or medium bristles. what kind of toothpaste am i using? is it in a tube or one of those squeeze bottles? what color is the tube or bottle? do i use a little squeeze or a big glop? hot or cold water? whats the sink look like and the handles and spout? WOW! thats sure a lot of detail stuff just for brushing your teeth and theres probably lots more. its real important for your story that you think about that stuff cause details could give your story lots more color and meaning for the reader.
x
heres something real important. you just gotta be real careful not to do too much detail cause that could be a bore for the reader too. i read a story one time that did a lot of describing in every chapter of how everything at the setting looked in zillions of little details. after a couple times it got soooo boring and got me away from what the story was about. ugh! that story was pretty good and i wanted to get to know how it ended so every time i got to a long bunch of details i just skipped past them and looked for more of the story. i gotta be honest and say if the story wasnt so good i would have just stopped reading it and for sure i wouldnt give it to someone else to read. thats pretty sad cause the writer did really good writing but did just way too much details on one thing. so you gotta be sure those details are something that could help the story but still let it keep moving.
x
now i hope you could know more about how its important to put details in your writing and how its a really good thing when you get them just right.
x
do you think about details and use them just enough so your story could be more alive?

tai chi is soooo cool! i do it mostly every day in the morning. doctor ron got me started on it so it could get me feeling relaxed and not scared or worried about stuff. hes got a black belt in it and even went to china to learn more from a famous tai chi master. i was thinking cause its pretty neat and does lots of good maybe you could want to know some stuff about it and maybe even try it.x

tai chi is a martial art but its lots more different than those ones like kung fu and karate cause its not for thumping or beating on someone to win a fight. nope! its mostly just for defending your self. it got started by a guy named chang san-feng way back a zillion years ago in the sung dynasty in china. one day he saw a snake and a crane fighting each and he liked how they were so balanced and in defending them selves they moved slow and graceful in getting out of each others way. he liked it so much he copied it and made it into a real neat self defending art that got called tai chi chuan.

x
mostly tai chi is a neat way for getting in a sync with your body and your mind so your whole self works together for good. its a bunch of real slow moves and every one of them is like imitating something in nature and each moves got a name like wild goose looks for food and bridge over water and stomping the tigers tail. that makes it more easy to remember. every move is real smooth and just flows right into the next one til you get done with a whole routine. it takes just 15 minutes a day to do it or you could do it longer or shorter.

x
whats so cool about moving and dancing around like a snake and a bird defending them selves? you could be real surprised on all the things it could do for you. heres some of them…

x
1. it makes you lots less antsy and more calm and lots less depressed.
2. you get better balance and good breathing and more strong muscles
3. for more old people it helps them not fall as much
4. you could sleep lots better
5. if you got high blood pressure it could help get it down
6. your heart could be lots more healthy
7. if you got pains it could help them not hurt so much
8. you could get lots more energy
9. it helps you get focused
10. mostly you could just feel lots better!

x
besides all that it could help kids that have attention problems and thats called add and that stands for attention deficit disorder and now doctors say it could be a big help for kids with autism. it’s a really neat way to help those kids get more focused on stuff.

x
now you know some cool stuff about tai chi. you know who invented it and its real old and your know what its good for. so im hoping your could go look for more about it and get started in it. if you do youre gonna be really surprised on how easy it is and how much better you could feel.

x
if you could want to read some good health stuff about tai chi you can go in the computer and visit the mayo clinic. just click on mayo and like magic youll zooooooooom all the way to minnesota and be right there at that real famous clinic.

照顾你自己 take good care of YOU! x
