Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 8} Describing: Settings! in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 2 months ago
I’m going to start off with a disclaimer:
Description of settings is one of my weakest points in writing so we’re all in this boat together.
But here goes. I’m going to give it my best shot.
Description is something that some people love, and some people hate. I’m not sure that there’s any in between. xD The thing is that you have to find…[Read more]

Jane Maree started the topic {2018 – Week 7} Show Don't Tell (and what that even means) in the forum Annual Theme Discussion 8 years, 2 months ago
I don’t know about you guys but one of the most common pieces of writing advice I’ve heard is “Show, don’t tell.”
It’s also incredibly confusing and hard to piece together what on earth that means. There’s a lot of courses and articles out there telling slightly different versions of what telling is and what showing is, and—let me tell…[Read more]

@mairin-atha Your post got sent to spam for some reason, I think. It does that randomly sometimes. xD
Great snippet though! I really liked how you showed the size of the dad’s hands. That’s a really cool detail.
Very nice. Something I actually noticed about that snippet is that the sentences don’t flow smoothly into each other…[Read more]
