I myself am starting to write my own fictitious stories for my friends and family to read, and I am trying to avoid poor writing habits as best as I can. I had always heard the term "show, don't tell" be used a lot, but I never really understood what that meant. I'm glad that this explained it to me. This is a perfect starting point for anyone who is thinking of becoming an author in the future, because, in my opinion, it's one of the most important rules to follow in order to keep your readers interested. Thanks again. A very informative blog indeed. I myself am starting to write my own fictitious stories for my friends and family to read, and I am trying to avoid poor writing habits as best as I can.

So.....I will continue my search for more examples of Show! Don't Tell! (the college version of Show and Tell (heh-heh!) There! I have vented.
