Greetings from the Hermit WRiter.
The
writer can’t just tell ...
must dramaticize values,
choices, attitudes via ....
- Actions
- Thoughts
- Dialogue
- Backstory
- Exposition – explain after you have SHOWN the impact; only to show new perspective
- May appear detached, slow the pace
- Must punch, to elevate from surrounding story (formal, figurative) – do not break tone
- Emotion
Avoid
character contradictions (that stretch credibility).
Gems
from Nancy Kress in Write Great Fiction.
