Reinventing Character

I'm working my way through Chapter 2 of "Writing Fiction" which is about showing versus telling. It covers some very interesting ground. I thought I understood the difference but found in reading this chapter that I didn't...at least not fully.  I'll touch on this more once I've gotten through the chapter.

I'm celebrating today! I've finished a short story and I like the material alot.  I'm going to print it and take it with me to Florida (two more sleeps!).  It needs alot of work but it feels good to have the first draft done.  I look forward to sitting on the beach, pen in hand, doing the revision.
