@GrammarParty Klara and the Sun was wonderful! I'm currently reading Jo Walton's Thessaly trilogy, and then have Ava Reid's The Wolf and the Woodsman up next, which I'm very excited for.

A year ago today, we explored how sentence structure can be used to establish character, tone, and more. Let's look back at the first sentence of Persuasion, in which Jane Austen's verbose opener perfectly characterizes her most self-important character. https://t.co/YVt4OTFgdg

@allisonexander I think there's a creative spark, a big of magic (if that's not too cliché) that has to be present in writing for it to work well. Christopher Paolini didn't write Eragon at 15 because he studied writing for a long time first. He did it because he had the creative spark to write.

Many of us learned "Show, don't tell" as the most important rule of writing. But what happens when a writer chooses not to describe a key plot point? Guy Gavriel Kay's A Brightness Long Ago is a masterful example of "Tell, don't show." #WritingCommunity https://t.co/MF3rUN66yZ
