Insecure Writer's Support Group

Posting the first Wednesday of every month YOU can sign up HERE to find out more about the purpose of the Insecure Writer's Support Group, the brainchild of Alex Cavanaugh.

In an effort to keep these posts short and sweet, I'll be sharing an appropriate quote.

Anton Chekhov said:

Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.


It's the old show don't tell battle, the one we've heard over and over again.

But doesn't that sentence explain it in the simplest way?

Practice writing showing sentences.

As I waded along the shore, the foam was iridescent, flowering around my ankles.

Your turn. Share a showing sentence in the comments and be inspired.
