SAMPLE OF VIGNETTE: The Shell Seekers, Rosamunde Pilcher Whenever a character is momentarily stunned or surprised, a vignette will help the reader embrace the feeling of shock. Here’s a scene from the novel The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher. The character is surprised by the room he walks into and we feel his awe. He put down his grip and gazed about him. Saw the long, scrubbed table, the motley variety of chairs, the pine dresser laden with painted pottery plates and jugs and bowls. Copper saucepans, beautifully arranged by size, hung from a beam over the stove, along with bunches of herbs and dried garden flowers. There were a basket chair, a shining white refrigerator, and a deep white china sink beneath the window so that any person impelled to do the washing-up could amuse himself at the same time by watching people's feet go by on the pavement. The floor was flagged and scattered with rush-mate, and the smell was of garlic and herbs, like a French country “epicerie”. He could hardly believe his eyes. “Is this your kitchen?” -MOTIVATION Are you good to go in writing?
