First exercise, the dreaded showing v telling

Got writer's block? Want to improve your prose? Grammar and spelling gotcha down? Then get out your sock puppets and chuck your sanity to the wind! (sanity is the number one block to writing)

Hm great a smack around the head for not writing a Gundam fic, and a set of completely inane pokings *rubs arms*, great when she finds out that I'm not writing 3 little words because I'm writing a large ongoing non-gundam series (as well as the already mentioned fear), then it'll hit the fan. I'm sure to get the prod :eek:

:eek: Great now I'm giving her ideas.

Maybe I should write a 1xR one-shot to appease her evilness. Hm.


Nah!
Have you had your recommended daily allowance of ravishing? 8)

I believe in love stories but despise romances.

I want to write fics that slap all the standard fanfiction conventions around the face with
a wet fish and call them Betsy ~ me to Wicked.

Cupid's arrow is really a nuclear warhead...it leaves total devastion in it wake.

This is something I've had a problem on for eons. The Showing version was better, in a sense that it made you feel exactly HOW he was jealous or was in love with her or stuff. The Telling version was blunt, and it didn't offer any excitement. But it would do for a good summary. :)
