00:00Somebody once told me that sometimes you have to get lost to find your way.
00:10When it comes to describing people, the key is to zoom in on specific characteristics.
00:16Things that tell us who these people are.
00:18For example, if I were to include a detail like,
00:22there was a band of white skin around her ring finger, what might that suggest?
00:27Someone who's cheating?
00:29I think certainly might suggest that.
00:32But what else might it convey?
00:34Maybe she's a widow?
00:36You can certainly go down that route.
00:44Maybe I haven't lived, you know, done anything of note.
00:47We've all done something of note.
00:49You moved here to be with a girl.
00:51Yeah, and that worked out swell.
00:54It's not about putting on a show, Mr Slater.
00:57Maybe this woman lost the one person who meant more to her than any other person in the world.
01:03Maybe she'd been grieving this person for months, barely leaving the house.
01:08And when there are no more tears left to shed, maybe this is the moment.
01:15Try to work through your something, or you'll just stay stuck.
