Kittens, show don't tell and other things
Posted: Sun 27 May, 2018 9:26 pm
As discussed at the meeting today:
1. Website that gives you a new kitten pic every 100 words!!!!! http://writtenkitten.co/
2.I haven't used this but there's also a paid service to turn right words into an RPG: https://4thewords.com/
3. The above links were from Mary Robinette Kowal's insightful piece about different types of Writer's Block including mental health issues: http://maryrobinettekowal.com/journal/s ... epression/
4. Mary Robinette Kowal also is a presenter for writing excuses and has a whole bunch of other interesting articles on writing. http://maryrobinettekowal.com/series/writing-exercises/
5. KJ Charles' lovely short article on show vs tell: http://kjcharleswriter.com/2018/03/26/t ... dont-tell/ which helped me cement what it was for me. The other thing I found that helps is to go back to books/stories that I found really immersive and try and figure out what the heck the author did (this is a work in progress for me
),
