Write it up discussion

As our writting improves and we learn tips and different techniques that work for each and every one of us, here we share differant things about what we learned. It can be a story of how you improved, Just a simple tip or anything really that's relates to improving our writting!

When I look back at my past writting I see now and was told that showing is so much more powerful than just telling.
Sure you can say: 'He was sad.' Or 'She was happy because...' But it's dull and lifeless. Instead, think about the emotion or feeling you want your charecter to express. Then think of how you or someone eles looks or feels when they have that emotion. Ask yourself what your charecter would do it the situation you put them in. How would they act?

So to bring 'He was sad' to life, you could think of another word other than boring old sad like devistated, sorry, unhappy, grieved, or crestfallen and make it fit.
'He was grieved.' Then elaberated to make the sentence or description longer and interesting. 'He was greiving for his long lost mother.' Then show your readers. What does a person do when they are greving? This may involve going through steps.
A person often cries when greiving.
What do they do when they cry?
Tear up, sob, weep. So describe what how they react. 'He was greving for his long lost mother. 'His eyes stung as tears ran down cheeks and his lung heaved for air.'
See? A lot more interesting than than before and easier for your readers to relate to.
