I have been working on editing today. I learned so much at CCWC. I have improved my writing a lot. Writing is the best way to improve your writing.
The thing I have struggled with the most is show not tell. At the conference Jeff Gerke gave a wonderful illustration that explained it so clearly. Telling is like having a blank screen during a movie. Just a voice, nobody is doing anything. It is boring. Showing is when you bring the actors onto the stage and they are actually doing something. That example has changed my writing.
It is a process and I continue to learn. I am ready to learn more and apply it to my wip.
