I am proud to announce the publication of a guest blog post on TheWritePractice.com website.
Showing, not telling, is the mantra I use with my students in the first months of teaching Writer’s Craft. I tell them they must paint a word picture, using sensory information from all five senses. The trick is in finding balance between when to show and when to tell.
The post’s direct link is http://thewritepractice.com/word-pictures/. Please feel free to visit the site and post in the comments. I will make every effort to get back to you within 24 hours of posting.
This is about the angst and ecstasy I experience as I write and try to get published.

I'm Published!
I am proud to announce the publication of my first guest blog post on the WriteToDone.com website.
Modelling expert text is something I learned about in teachers’ college and have used many times over the years, both as a tool with which to develop my own writing voice (as I discuss in the article) as well as with my students as a writing exercise.

Please feel free to visit the site and post in the comments. I will make every effort to get back to you within 24 hours of posting.
