Okay, so here’s the deal: Earlier wrote a little ditty about show vs. tell to post to a yahoo group board. My hubby sat down beside me and read over my shoulder as I wrote (not uncommon). We went about the night.
Later in the evening my hubby was in bed when I walked into the bedroom to get changed. I winced at the putrid air.
“Have you been tooting?” I asked.
RRRRIIIIPPPP!
I looked at my husband, my jaw at my knees.
He busted up laughing. “I thought I should show you instead of telling you.”
A fine example of show vs. tell.
I'm pretty sure that this lesson — no matter how POTENT it may be — is one that many writers can do without. But bonus points for your husband's obvious effort to help.
Haw, haw…
reminds me of when my bro got married long ago – me, being married a couple of years already, he asked about what you should do if you have to, um…you know…
LOL…you've educated your husband well! Hilarious!
Gee, thanks honey. That's cute.
