Show Me

I will become a better writer once I fully apply the art of showing. 

Instead of telling you that the moon is shining; I must show you the glint of light on broken glass…

  • Don’t describe what happened, tell me how it affects me.
  • Don’t tell me the details, tell me the meaning.
  • Don’t SAY you love me, SHOW me you love me.

…these are the lessons I must learn.

    I’m learning to do the same as a songwriter. When you give all the words xactly as it is, you give too much. Giving just enough is so difficult when there’s much to say!
