Who else has lapsed straightaway into 'telling' just because we got too excited for a scene?
          	*Raises hands nervously*
          	
          	The show vs tell is a delicate balance, something I feel authors struggle with. Let the reader 'see' things instead of 'telling them what to see'. Sounds crazy, right? 
          	
          	But that's what the best editors in business will tell you. Got a chance to submit one of my 'edited' works to be reviewed by a developmental editor and they quite blatantly told me what all needed to be fixed, which apparently was a lot
          	
          	Use images and adjectives! Get those creative juices flowing ✨

@ottovanbitchsmack I agree. And then after ten more edits, it only becomes 'barely readable' XD

I might have to be offline for a few days, courtesy of exams *sobs*
          
          But before leaving, a new chapter of Time And Time Again has been updated. A little glimpse into the burgeoning relationships
          
          Everyone needs a little character development, *pointedly looks at Rhys* but I tend to digress. 
          Stay safe and take care✨

          A new chapter of Time And Time Again has been published. Introducing the male lead and Camelia's love interest ^^
