hi it's me. "telling" in writing is sometimes fine. if you think a scene is better served by summarizing a character's reaction in plain, direct language, that's a thing you're allowed to do. you could consider elaborating from that direct language and using that to "show".

but like "show, don't tell" is absolutely not always the case unless you really want to buff out your word count. i had a writer early on quote "show, don't tell" to me when i showed her a scene that included what was essentially a set-piece character i described as a "sleepy-eyed dancer". she wanted me to spend time describing this character's exhaustion instead of just directly saying it. This dancer - who is referenced once in the initial description of a setting and never, ever shows up again.

that was probably the day i learned that you can hear writing advice and respond politely but quietly think "mm no". you can also do this.

(feel free to fight me in the comments but know that i despise catchy and generalized writing advice like this and the way it can hinder new writers when stated with no room for exploration. and i will die on this hill. i am not normal about this)

really really hate how 90% of cricut videos are abt ways to make money fast. it’s just so so so dismal that that’s why people want to craft

it’s like i get it ykno times are really hard and everybody could always use some extra money on the side and a machine like this can make that easy. i can’t begrudge people trying to get by and using the tools at their disposal to do so. but it’s sad seeing a lack of love and creativity. i really want to see the art people can make with tools like this and the passion that goes into it. not just “tote bag with quirky catchphrase”
