Enjoyed this. Love the "red flag words". They're an easy edit for beginning writings like me. Barbara

In reply to JR Robinson. You're most welcome. It's tough to get into the habit of it, but once you do, it goes much easier. You start noticing the little "red flag" words and editing yourself, then you stop using them :)

Excellent article. I am writing a book, and the show,don't tell method is hard to remember to do. The examples shared, are definitely about to be added to my stories. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. If only unlearning were easy :) I have a few bad habits I'd like to get rid of, lol.

I do number three ALL THE TIME. And then I have to find and catch those tells in the edit. It would be easier to just UN-learn the bad habit! Thanks for provoking some thought here, Janice. 🙂

In reply to Ellen cassidy. I love this commend, Ellen. That's what this is all about, is us moving the needle forward on our own writing.

I ordered your book years ago and it was the best purchase I've ever made in craft writing books. I literally did not understand this concept until after I was done. HOPEFULLY it's reflected in my work! Bravo!
