#WritersCoffeeClub 18. Do you consciously apply show rather than tell in your writing or do the cards land where they may?
Oh, I'm an unbeliveably bad tell-er and it's made worse by the usual perspective (close 3rd that violently wants to be 1st person). First draft 'show' ends up like a bullet point list of facial reactions, lol.
I'm making an effort though, and I try to rework it when I come back through.
