Sept 11 —What's your top advice to an aspiring writer?

Finish something. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, if you think that you could do better, if you want to change it. Just get to the end of writing. Write from your heart until it's finished and then you can go back and do whatever to it. You have a story to tell. Use your words to do it. Use the tools you need to get your words on paper or screen. Your story needs to be told.

I think the best thing you can do as a is to ask people how they feel about "show don't tell". If they have any opinion stronger than "it's good advice but sometimes you gotta keep it brief" you need to run the other way.

This post was brought to you by the position that "show don't tell" is a CIA psyop.

Today in Writing History September 10, 1960: Alison Bechdel, American author and illustrator was born. She is most famous for her “Dykes to Watch Out For,” comic strip. And for her “Bechdel Test,” originally intended as a joke in one of her comics, but which has since become a routine metric used by critics as an indicator for the active presence of women in a film.
