No, don't literally put them in handcuffs! Immerse them in your work. Suck them into the writing so that they will read and read and never want to escape, so that they will want you to handcuff them to your next book. To do this, here are some techniques you can use: The senses. We perceive and experience the world through our senses. An immersive and convincing work will often have readers seeing, touching, tasting, hearing, and smelling. Concrete details. These types of details provide a specific sense of understanding of what is going on in the writing. Rather than generalizing an image"she was pretty"get specific: "She had long, golden braids, which were interwoven with daisies." If you are more familiar with something, you can write about it in more detail, realism, and depth. If you don't know a detail that is important for your project, do research. Google it. Ask someone who knows. The more information you know about a situation, a person, or setting, the more you will be able to render it realistically on the page. . Sometimes, the best way to write a story is "Linear Structure": Beginning, Climax, and Resolution. However, there are many, many other ways to write a story. Consider "In Media Res"when the story begins in the thick of things. Or, a story interspersed by multiple flashbacks. Choose your structure depending on your story's progression. In total, there are 9 different points of view. The 3 main categories are 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Person. When deciding point of view, think about what information you want your readers to have access to. 1st POV: uses "I" involved narrator is an active player and teller of the story detached narrator is not telling their own story specifically, but maybe the story of a central character Plural (we) a collective narrator, maybe a large group of people 2nd POV: uses "You" inverted, the narrator is referring to him or herself as the writer, and perhaps dissociating themselves from distasteful thoughts/traits/memories You = a character, distinct with their own unique qualities You = direct address to the reader You = reader is active character in the story 3rd POV: uses a character name omniscient narrator knows everything, has free reign in the story and complete authority, and can hurl judgments limited this POV is missing something. It is like a window of vision that gets smaller and smaller as you become more limited single characters' thoughts and feelings -- Harry Potter is limited to Harry's thoughts and feelings direct observer -- a narrator's telling of situation, but cannot explicitly discern the emotions of the characters fly on the wall--the narrator is spy, watching the situation from a distant perspective, but is not privy to everything for information is limited by the narrator's location on the wall

Summary: Arrest the reader. Write what you know more about. Consider structure Consider Point of View:

Find a comfortable and steady position and if possible mount your binoculars on a camera tripod, or something else steady and fixed so they won't shake as you use them. With the binoculars you should be able to see Jupiter as a white disk. You may also be able to see up to four distinct specs of light near Jupiter, these are its four Galilean moons. Jupiter has at least 63 moons in orbit. In 1610, Galileo named the four main moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. How many you can see will depend on their position orbiting Jupiter. Even if you have a telescope, it can be helpful to use binoculars to spot Jupiter in the sky before moving on to the telescope for a more detailed observation. Once you have spotted Jupiter, you can begin a more detailed observation of the planet's surface through your telescope and identify some of its key features. Jupiter is famous for its darker cloud belts and lighter zones which are appear laterally across the planet's surface. Try to identify the central light area known as the equatorial zone and the darker equatorial belts north and south of it. When searching for the belts, keep trying. It takes time to learn how to spot the belts through a telescope. It's a good idea to try this with someone who is already familiar with spotting them. One of Jupiter's most fascinating features is its Great Red Spot. This giant oval storm, larger than Earth, has been observed on Jupiter for more than 300 years. You can locate it at the outer edge of the south equatorial belt. The spot shows clearly how fast surface of the planet is changing; within the space of only an hour, you should be able to see the spot clearly move across the planet. The intensity of the Great Red Spot varies, and it can't always be seen. It isn't really that red, but more of orange or a pale pink colour.

Summary: Find Jupiter with binoculars. Take a closer look with a telescope. Find the Great Red Spot.

Wear long earrings with details like beads, gems, and tassels with the dress for a night out or a formal event like a wedding. The long earrings will add a bit of detail around your face to offset the cut at the shoulders of the dress. Put your hair in an updo to show off your earrings and your shoulders in the dress. Go for a necklace that sits high and tight around your neck to complement the shoulder cut of the dress. Look for a choker necklace made of an eye catching material like gold, silver, or rose gold. Try a choker necklace with a small pendant or gem for an added accessory. Choker necklaces made of fabric like a velvet or satin ribbon can also give the dress a more formal look for a night out. Pairing a mini or maxi off the shoulder dress with sandals is a great option for keeping your look light and summery. Go for sandals with a wedge heel for a formal summer event or sandals with no heel for a day out running errands. For example, you may wear sandals with rhinestones with a short off the shoulder dress on a hot day. Or you may wear leather flats with a long off the shoulder dress on a fall day. Wearing flats or runners with the off the shoulder dress is also a good option for a day out in the warmer months. The off the shoulder dress can be dressed up by wearing heeled boots, especially in the fall or winter months. For a formal event like a gala or a wedding, go for heels with the dress to take your look up a notch. For example, you may wear high heeled boots with a short off the shoulder dress for a night out. Or you may wear high heels with shiny detailing with a long off the shoulder dress for a formal event.

Summary: Pair the dress with statement earrings. Wear a choker necklace for a dramatic look. Opt for sandals or flats with the dress for a summer look. Go for boots or heels for a night out.

Center the violet in the middle of the pot. The root ball should sit in a hole on top of the soil you packed earlier. Push aside the surrounding soil to fit the root ball into the hole. Gently push some dirt over the root ball to cover it. Avoid pressing down on the soil. Add more soil as needed to cover the roots and keep the violet upright. Remember to leave space between the soil and the pot's rim. Set the pot on top of a saucer. Keep the water around room temperature. Pour water directly onto the soil, stopping when you see water trickling out of the pot. Moisten the soil without making it soggy. Give the water time to spread out through the soil and pass through to the saucer. After about 30 minutes, the violet should be well set in its new home. Remove the saucer to dump out the excess water.
Summary: Lower the root ball into the new pot. Add more soil as needed to cover the root ball. Moisten the soil with lukewarm water. Remove the excess water after 30 minutes.
