In this week's episode, we're focused on writing craft with Elizabeth sharing a presentation on Showing vs. Telling that she presented for Central Colorado Writers. You can get the PDF of the presentation in the link below. 

At one time or another, we all struggle with this as writers to find the right balance in our manuscripts between showing and telling. There's a time and place for both. No matter where you are in your journey it's good to get back to basics. As Plato said: "There is no harm in repeating a good thing."

Join our online writing community for women memoir writers: https://inspired-writer-collective.mn.co/

The Inspired Writer Collective is an online writing community for women memoir writers. Created by authors Stephanie Oswald, Ph.D. & Elizabeth Wilson, it's a supportive online space to get more writing done, improve your craft, and strategically navigate your path to publishing. 

We offer weekly "Time to Write" sessions on Zoom for getting more writing done. You don't have to turn on your camera (though we'd love to see), but we'd love to meet you and encourage you on your writing journey. When you schedule time in your calendar, you're more likely to show up and it's even better when you're part of a community of writers. 

Subscribe to our channel for our weekly podcast videos and inspiration for your writing journey.

 Welcome to the Inspired Writer Collective podcast. If you've ever felt the pull to write your truth, to shape the chaos of real life into something meaningful and to share your journey with the world, you're in the right place. We're your hosts, Elizabeth and Stephanie, writers, coaches, and entrepreneurs who believe in you and know how important it is to find a writing community to guide you on your path to self-publishing.
