"Show, don't tell," is one of the most overused, abused, and misunderstood pieces of writing advice out there. Every piece of prose fiction is a MIX of showing and telling. Showing everything would be godawful. Balancing the showing and the telling is part of the writer's craft.

Got stuck editing & went back to a printed version. It's so freeing editing a printed copy but can anyone explain how I can spend days and hours and stay up all night editing someone else's work - but not my own? #amediting #historicalfiction #egyptology

Calling all Parents - very short & straight to the heart: bmj.com/content/374/bm…

Under the influence of October Libra energy ruled by the Goddess of Ma'at (Cosmic Order & Balance) - the guiding imperative of Egyptian rulers! My imperative 3,000 edited words a day to create 2nd draft by end month. Thoth willing🙏✍️#amediting #historicalfiction #egyptology

Marvellous 'Words of Wisdom' in am session The London Writers' Salon: “When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.” Audre Lorde #amwriting #NaNoWriMo21 #HistoricalFiction

A wave of extreme weather in Upper Egypt has left over 500 people in Aswan with venomous scorpion stings as storms and flooding forced the creatures out of their natural habitats, damaged homes, uprooted trees and disrupted electricity across the area. madamasr.com/en/2021/11/14/…

What to do when you hit a chapter that you can't edit because it just doesn't work? #amwriting #NanoWriMo21 The London Writers' Salon😅😅😅

Feeling so much empathy for the people of Aswan today. Terrible thunderstorms disrupted electricity but also caused scorpions to be flushed out of their homes & harm 500 people! x.com/sebusher/statu…

I just read an Amazon review (not for one of my books) that said "it feels like the author was just making it up as they went along" and I can't stop laughing. Like, dude, I hate to tell you this...

Loving seeing history coming into the present day...history has so much to teach us...but so does the future...meanwhile we need to love every moment of our present. #love lnkd.in/dyrGZ4hr
