  2. Be specific in what you mean. Do you mean dry goods? Dry weather? Dry humor? I cannot know what a flat word like dry means. You must give me a little more than that. Please help me.

  3. He was so specific. Literal at times. I really want to understand what makes him tick. Specific..be specific. Something I will never know how to do. It can take me hours sometimes to write a paragraph. Is this his gift, a blessing? I think so, that’s why I love him. Specific. My professors are staring at me and making me feel uncomfortable. Be specific, the directions of their pointless assignments tell me. You be specific! Whatever. I love him. I love how he’s always so specific. Blunt, even. Sometimes, his words hurt. Everyone hurts me when they are being specific. Lay off! Or don’t. What do I care? I care a lot. But, doesn’t everyone? Be specific. What do you like about me? What do I like about me. I’m a work in progress. Just like one of his art projects. Has he even completed one since I’ve known him. I love him, but do I love myself? Specific.

  4. specific is a reference to a particular object, or thing. If some one is being specific it means they are giving you a detail account.

  5. Specific is a word that describes a lot of things. It tells us what we need to find or look for or exactly what we need instead of something in general. It is a powerful word that makes a difference in everyone’s life.

  6. be specific, i tell my students all the time. show don’t tell, i say to them. find the detail that allows us to connect, I say. we connect more through the particular than the general, I say. find the story in your ideas, i say. i talk about specifics a lot and yet in my own writing, of course, specifics are hte most difficult thing to find because each specific–each moment–has a ripple of connotations that must be considered, judged, absorbed.

  8. I wasn’t being specific enough I guess. I suppose my jealousy wasn’t obvious, or the way I seemed angry that he didn’t see me. Perhaps the way I smiled at him wasn’t the way I thought it was. I’ll be more specific this time:

    I love you, I love you, I love you.

    Please see me.

  12. It was very specific, the color he wore. I wanted to borrow it, so my eyes might shine like his. It lit his face from behind his pupils, casting a green glow over the entire crowd. I couldn’t look away.

  13. be specific the father said. What about your mother ldon’t you like. He almost said it. But he couldn’t. The father slapped him. Say it son!. He started crying and said that she has another daddy that comes to the house. He comes when you leave daddy. And he’s nice but he’s not you.

  14. He always wanted specific details. He wanted to know where I was, what I did, and who was I with. But then one day I realized that who was he to know my specifics? He wasn’t my father and he wasn’t in charge of me. So I decided to just keep my specifics to myself, where they belonged.

  16. it’s important to be specific so people know what you’re talking about. being vague will confuse people. if you give every single detail, your story will be more interesting. everything seems better when you are specfic. sometimes people are too specific and it’s overwhelming. stories dont need to be told in full out detail. it can get too personal to handle. ew.

  17. what is specific? dont really know. what about the color green, if you ask me what my favorite color is, and i tell you green is that specific enough? or what about if i ask you how your day went, i want you to be specific about it. i want you to tell me all the details and leave nothing out. i like to be specific when i tell you about a task.

  18. clear, precise, exact. When someone is specific not only do they know what they want, but those around them also will know. It allows for no ambiguity surrounding it.

  19. Certain things that are..well…certain. Only one, just leave the others. One thing.
    that one thing that you only like a certain way that must be just right, or else it’s not special. Not specific

  20. Very detailed and has a lot of emotions kind of like what im writing now except it is being specific on the word specific. People usually use this type of writing when describing a story of some sort or if they just want to tell you how they feel. Most people have a hard time being specific for it’s hard to remember every single little tiny detail. But if you sit down and actually take the time to think about it and you retrace every step of thing you are trying to describe then it should be varley easy!

  21. There’s a key and a lock. They don’t go together. Why? Because they’re not specifically made for each other.

    But take another key and stick it in the same lock, and behold a world of wonders.

  23. There were moment where I just stared blankly at my napkin,
    Moving my hands over the edges to dry the sweat.
    She spoke in the rhetoric, never specific.
    Check please?

  24. Specific like blueprints.
    Specific like shopping and to do lists.
    Specific like doubt after a weather report.
    Specific like I love you.

  26. To be specific is to just be,
    Be real,
    when you’re real you’re incredibly alive.
    You believe in what you want and that brings us to the question.
    what is being specific?
    Is it following the flow of nature, following what I want?
    How is something specific?
    How am I specifically female, how are you specifically alive?

  28. You’re getting too specific. This is a big world, and it needs to be painted with a broad brush. as big as a barn that barely holds horses.

  29. Specifically speaking, you’re adorable. Yep that’s all I got for today…bummer.

  30. it’s hard to be specific about what you want. often times because it’s hard to describe how you feel. i feel if the human race as a whole worked on their mastery of linguistics, everything would be better.

  31. Being specific is important when a person knows where they are going and exactly what they want to do. Why be specific when you don’t have to be though? When it’s not imperative? Not being specific allows a person to just go with the flow of life. Let’s the wind blow them where it may.

  32. everything is so specific. i love things to be specific there are many things that are very specific. Writers are very specific people and love to have specific writing. I am also very specific when I write. Espec

  33. Yakamora was very specific about the way he tied his shoes. Right over left, under the loop, through the hole, tug twice and repeat. Maybe if he knew where his shoes were going, he wouldn’t work so hard to make sure they weren’t falling off. But Yakamora rarely knew anything, let alone where the hell it was he was headed.

  34. I hate to be too specific, but then I was a child I much preferred oranges to orAnges. No relation, but I thought it very important that people make the distinction. I also often traveled to the specific ocean, living in California, and I would wash the sand watch itself on the golden shores.

  35. BE MORE SPECIFIC!!!!!! I can’t be. I need a context. Specificity isn’t important unless the general context is understood. I loved he specificity, her intellect.

  36. “I need you to be specific. What was he wearing? Was he tall, short? Please, try to remember everything you can.”

    I tried to remember the details, but my mind was fuzzy – like the dancing of black and white on a tv screen with no cable. The only thing that filled my mind was the putrid scent of the alcohol on his breath and the sting I felt after he slapped my face and told me to give him everything I had.

  37. I don’t like being specific. When people ask me “where” and “when”, I just shrug and say “whenever”. I like to go with the flow. No specific time, date, place, people. Just whatever. It is what it is.

  38. The time we set for chatting was specific. We would meet at 10pm his time. He would take his laptop to bed and fall asleep as we chatted. It was the most romantic thing I’d ever done. He told me about his day and I would tell him about mine.

  39. Being specific is hard. Generalizations are easy, everything is a part of everything. You only see the specifics when you put your nose to the grindstone. That’s something I’ve never been able to do. that and focus, which my last stumble was about ironically because it was talking about focus while i was not focusing on doing my work.

    by Boka on 03.02.2011
  40. Oh this is hard the first thing that came to my mind was a complete blank, then I started to panic thinking I cant do this. I’m running out of time. This is a very SPECIFIC fear of mine; that I will fail at writing.
