Show Don't Tell

The scene is the essence of any novel or memoir, but it's more than just telling a story, it's SHOWING it. I'll show you how.

Thank you for the offer. You have shown here that you are very good at mentoring writers. A zoom session is a very effective way for people to learn from a distance. While I might benefit from your session, I believe I will bow out this time. But I may consider other sessions in the future.

I believe I may be through writing a novels at my age, but I will continue to write short stories and poems for as long as I can.
