hd_writers | NaNo Inspiration, Day 15

This isn't just about love. This is about showing us what's going on. You can tell me a good story, after all, but showing will give me an incredible reading experience. Plus, it's more words, which in NaNo terms is sheer brilliance!

For example: "Jillian was nervous as she waited. When her turn was called, she hurried to meet the interviewer." is one way to say it.

Or... you could try this on for size...

Jillian's toe tapped against the floor. When Ed put his hand on her knee in silent caution, she managed to stop, offering him a weak smile of apology. Instead, her fingers twitched, and she started tapping them against her thigh. Anything to keep moving. When her name was called, she shot out of her seat, standing perfectly straight and rubbing her palms surreptitiously against her jeans. It wouldn't do to shake hands with sweaty fingers. She had to make a good first impression if she wanted this job.

So go forth and show! If you're stuck on what new to write, look back into your previous day's work and see if there are any places where you've told us what's inside the character's head rather than showing it to us, and elaborate. Free words!!

While you're here, check in below and let us know how you did yesterday with your writing, and how you're doing overall! Whether you're ahead or behind, remember, ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS and just by writing you are making progress. Need some encouragement or cheerleading or just a place to vent your frustrations?
