In the past we’ve talked about Showing
versus Telling, and Overdoing
Your Characters. Today we’ll put together some of the points discussed on
these subjects, and work on developing our powers of subtlety.

Talking Shop: You're Always Showing, Revisited
If
you're a writer, it's a fair bet you've heard this one:
"Show, don't tell."
For
many writers, this can be a challenging lesson. For others, it
comes fairly naturally. What many don't realize, however, is that whether or
not you realize it, you are always showing something.

Wednesday Writing Challenge: Blood on the Floor
Welcome to the Wednesday Writing Challenge!
Every Wednesday, I pose a new writing challenge here on the blog. These challenges come from books on writing, classes I've taken on creative writing, or sometimes just from my own imagination. If you're an author, hopefully they will help you get your writing juices flowing and help you improve your craft.
Some of these challenges may be very good ones or may include an element I consider highly important for writers to learn...so occasionally I may cycle through some of my favorites more than once.
