Basic Human Skeleton, Organs and Vien

If you are into those NCIS type of writing, then I hope this post is useful to you. In most cases, if you want to use those scientific terms, do be careful because readers might not be able to understand what the hell you are talking about. However, those terms can be of some excellent use if you know how.

Let me give you an example, 'Ma'am, your son's humerus and radius bones were broken in the car crash accident.' to 'Ma'am, your son's humerus and radius bones were broken in the car crash accident. What I mean is that his upper and lower left arm are broken.' (First, you confused your readers, then you provide them with simple common terms. This will create the 'ahhhh' / 'ooohhhh' effects.)

PS: Most common use of skeleton I came across so far is the ribs and spines (from Cervical Vertebrae to Sacrum of the back)

PS: Apart from the well known organs like hearts, lungs, livers, kidneys etc, writers usually referring to the rest as 'entrails'.

PS: Personally, I don't find this part useful except referring only to its general term - 'vein'; but it could be useful to you.

So, I'm still young and learning. If you see mistakes/improvement, please do not hesitate to point it out to me. Thank you.

Basic Human Hand and Foot Parts

Another aspect of writing is the zooms. Sometimes, the ability to describe something close up will create more effect than looking from a far. For instance, 'John injured his hand while building a shed.' to 'John smashed his thumb with a hammer while building a shed.'

Basic Human Facial Parts

In this Post, there will be detailed parts on Face, Mouth and Ears. The precision of such usage is important in your scene description. For example, 'She punches him on the face.' to 'She punches him on his mouth . His lips split, and blood stream down his chin.'

Human Facial Expressions

Human Facial Expressions are very important aspect in writing, in my opinion. "He smiles" and "He smirks" give totally different meaning in how we understand both the character's emotion then and the circumstances.

Grand Vision of Library of the Writers' Mind

Greetings,

I'm currently studying Creative Writing at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Being an international student, Creative Writing is somewhat very challenging to me, especially the description of parts of items. For example, a ship, which has prow, mast, deck, stern etc. Therefore, I am thinking of establishing this blog up so that I can store my knowledge of parts down for three main reasons.

1. For my own sake. I will always update parts of items with pictures as frequent as possible so that they will become useful when I start writing stories.

2. For other writer wannabes' sake. I hope my collective work here would provide useful information to fellow young writers out there.

3. Asking for your supports. I realise that the world of any language is too big for a foreigner to explore, no matter how hard that person tries. Therefore, I am asking you to help contribute your knowledge to my blog, please. Your contributions mean so much to me and whoever that find this blog useful.

So, as an end note. This blog starts with me. This blog will only grow if you helped. Thank you.
