Darkness and how to SHOW not tell

The Dark and Darkness ( capitalization for emphasis) is a great way to SHOW ( not tell) a character's intent, setting, genre, conflicts, morality, ignorance and more. It's a great plot device too that can add tension and create a foreboding atmosphere in an otherwise benign event or scene. www.autumnbardor.com #writinginspriation #writingtips

Knives | What a Knife Can Show ( Not Tell | Show don't Tell |Knives and characterization

Knives are a great way to show or reveal character, mood, culture, setting, and intent. Knives are powerful and iconic symbols of power, violence, and conflict. Yet they can be so much more than that. Are you using the knives in your novel to enhance your plot and characters? ✅ Discover the Power of Archetype & Write a More Masterful Sentence with my MASTER CLASS.   A great story has great characters. Memorable characters that leap from the page do more than just entertain. The reader relates and learns from them. Discover how to create believable and nuanced characters that drive plot and enhance conflict by teasing out all the strengths and weaknesses found in archetypes.    There are many ways to tell a story and even more ways to write the scenes and sentences within. An ordinary sentence may move the plot forward, but a masterful sentence or scene does so much more! A purpose-driven scene enhances mood, tone, characterization, conflict, plot, theme, and emotion.  Discover the author techniques and literary devices to create evocative and layered prose that transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.  This course provides both a literary and real-life approach to:  • characterization  • archetypes  • authorial techniques  • literary devices   that will help you master the art of ‘showing vs telling’.   GET IT HERE: https://www.udemy.com/course/the-power-of-archetype-write-a-more-masterful-sentence/?referralCode=F520EC671005635E15CA

Mirrors and Ways to SHOW not TELL

#writingtips #writinginspiration   Mirrors are symbolic of vanity, truth clarity, illumination, distortion, and a reflection of one's soul. All of these can help you SHOW emotion, characterization, conflict, setting, worldview, and plot.    Things to be considered if there's a mirror in your story:  How does the character look into the mirror ( gaze, ponder, glance, stare, grimace, etc ) How is the mirror framed?  Gilded, modern, minimalist, industrial, chipped?  Is the glass ancient, new, distorted, clean, fogged, dirty?  How big or small is the mirror?  What else is reflected in the mirror?  What is not reflected in the mirror?   ALL these things can—if you chose—SHOW the character’s personality, emotion, setting, conflict, worldview, and more! Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the showiest of them all? www.autumnbardot.com
