Last post we talked about showing rather than telling. Since it’s such an important topic and can make the difference between a boring story and a sit on the edge of your seat, or a can’t wait to turn the page story, we have more.
Check out Lea Schizas post about passive writing:

Quick note: We seem to be having a problem with our home page not loading completely. Last time I looked (using IE) the right sidebar was gone!
I may have to delete my last post (The Deal with Showing Rather than Telling) and redo it. I’m hoping that will clear it up. Maybe I accidently added a bit of Word content to it (fingers crossed!)
So, if it’s not before this post, it’ll be after it.
Sorry for the inconvenience…it’s those darn internet gremlins at work again…
