When I was writing my first book, I had NO CLUE what I was doing. I wrote what came out, which was okay at the time, but I knew if I wanted my book to be the best it could be, I needed to learn more about the writing craft.
So I picked up a book about writing, and the first chapter was all about show vs. tell. And it BLEW MY MIND. I couldn't shake the concept, so I immediately incorporated it into my writing.
And guess what?
My dad, who was reading each chapter as I wrote it, started asking how my writing had improved so drastically. Just from learning and applying this one little concept!
That's why I'm so passionate about the subject. It made my writing SO MUCH BETTER, and it can make your writing better, too!
