Let's take a specific example. If you want to write about a yacht, visualize a yacht, there are numerous mental images you can see in your mind:
* If you normally see surface details, notice all the visual and sensory details: the colors, the shine, the feel.
* If you normally see things in relation to your relationships, notice who is on your yacht with you and how they interact and the part that your yacht plays in that relationship.
* If you normally see how things are connected, notice where your yacht is anchored, what you are doing there, how you got there and where you are going next.
* If you normally see concepts and "the big picture," notice how the yacht represents YOU and the role that it plays in your journey of self discovery.
The more "real" you can make your visualization, the more impact and power it will have.
You are your own best coach in this because the first thing you have to do is recognize how you see the world around you. By bringing those elements into your visualization they will become more alive and "real" for you.
So, right now, what do you see? What do you feel? What is real to you? And what is unique in the way you are experiencing it?
Now, it starts here with what you are going to write down. Just jot down the description of the pictures you are seeing as if you are trying to describe them to someone else in writing instead on verbally. They are your pictures and the way you explain them is unique to you.
The people who see what you are seeing as they read your words will become your readers. It is just that simple to start writing.
