Also easier to give advice than take it (as I can personally attest to).<br /><br />@Peaches - I try to think about how the reader will most likely respond too. <br /><br />@Lexa - I admit I do love a really original metaphor, even when it stops me in my tracks and takes me out of the story. <br /><br />@Mike - most of the time a rollicking story requires no particular technique other than to keep going.<br />mooderinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01523337588830695638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-3279169649372691592015-02-18T16:31:29.597+00:002015-02-18T16:31:29.597+00:00I don't think I'm very good at the whole &...I don't think I'm very good at the whole "show" thing but I do try.Michael Offutt, Phantom Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557969104886174930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061937348591302555.post-14652154257368353272015-02-18T15:51:51.049+00:002015-02-18T15:51:51.049+00:00That last example cracked me up!
