I agree with you, it's almost always better to show, but telling is a very important part of many stories, especially psychological ones. And, some writers tell very well--I admire people who can do that. I once took a writing class where the teacher presented a section of a Virginia Woolf book with all the telling parts removed. It was pretty mysterious without all of the telling.Davin Malasarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09385823575081492949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-78889715542970720702009-12-14T11:37:56.749-05:002009-12-14T11:37:56.749-05:00Thanks Tricia! :)Thanks Tricia! :)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-27875705093414748972009-12-14T11:28:14.124-05:002009-12-14T11:28:14.124-05:00Patti, it's so hard sometimes isn't it?
