Creating a space and a mood.

I am finding in the development of my writing style that a lot of my style is dependent upon creating  a space and a mood. I don't like to get lost in too many details because I feel there is a balance between creating a creative space for the reader's mind to visit allowing them to mentally walk around and experience it and to project themselves into it and see what comes back to them. 

I learned about this many years ago in chat rooms. Virtual conversations in an MSN community I hosted long ago called The Metaphysical Mixer. It was a place where people of all types of spiritual backgrounds would come together to meet and mingle. Speaking of many topics and of metaphysical experience. It was a fun time. 

In the chat rooms we would create a mood, a setting, we were around a campfire, or in a lavish chamber in India, we could be anywhere, passing around virtual food doing virtual activities. 

It is there during these collective meditations that I discovered something about what would grow to be my writing style. I like to go on a journey and take you with me. I like to watch the reaction of the reader and see what their personal experience adds to the scene. I love to get feedback about what they saw while in this mental holographic chamber.  Creating a space and a  mood is so important in successful writing.  

Take a moment to create a virtual space in your mind. Use all five sense to feel it, see it, smell it, touch it, and taste it.  After this space has been fully developed in your mind share it with us. I'd love to know what your virtual space is like.
