| title | [Fixing Errors] Archie's Writing Guide: 3 Misunderstood Writing Tips |
| body | <p>Yay, the first guide post and it’s tearing down commonly given writing tips! I’m gonna get yelled at aren’t I? But before anyone starts raging in the comments, please understand that I do mostly agree with this advice. However, a lot of people misinterpret this advice. If you feel I’m wrong, then you’re free to rage down in the comments in an organized and orderly manner. <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmetbH9MVeYkf5784EU62bmBWX8qnZqqmayb5d3qu2LwaM/Pic%20Conecpt%201%20Fix.png </p> <p><center> <strong>1. Show and do Tell</strong> </center></p> <p> Show, don’t tell is a good piece of advice yet I think writers take this too literally. I’ve read stories where the author shows <em>everything </em>and it gets rather annoying reading block after block of text. This even extended to travel between locations. Unless something happens that changes the plot’s course, develop character, or just plain cool/humorous, I don’t want to read lengthy passages of nothingness. </p> <p>Telling is sometimes necessary too. Readers need to know important lore info or certain scenes such as a fight between two characters to provide a quicker pace.</p> <p>However, this does not give a writer an excuse to always tell in modern day. Unless it’s required for the type of story you’re writing, like a short story, many readers will get bored. This is why show, don’t tell is a popular piece of advice to give. </p> <p>Personally, I think showing should be largely restricted to character actions, senses, emotions, and thoughts. Describing a couch in detail is something I don’t want to know aside from a few details. Like dog poop recently being cleaned, but still has a stain and a character sits on said stain. Or, if a story has multiple POVs a writer could use the couch to show how different characters react to it. </p> <p>For example, </p> <p><em>John studied the couch. It seemed sub-par to what he was used to as being rich allowed for top of the line seats. He even got discounts from certain producers because he was white. However, he was having money trouble and needed a new couch proto. So here he was, looking at sub par furniture.</em> </p> <p><em>This couch caught his because it was a rich brown and was leather, similar to the couch that was thrown out. The only problem was some kind of stain spread over the bottom cushions. Oh it didn’t matter, it was a stain, he can clean it.</em></p> <p><em>Now to test how comfortable it was.</em> </p> <p>-</p> <p><em>Jeremy had found the perfect couch for his meager budget. It was a rich brown and made out of leather! He never had a leather couch before. All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p> <p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p> <p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully, there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p> <p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide a to showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p> <p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p> <p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png <center><a href= "https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center> <p> Anyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb which can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. It would also be difficult to avoid adverbs since there are several words that can be adverbs, verbs, adjectives, etc. <p> For example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. So if it’s required at times, so why all the hate? <p> I believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too often or in the wrong places annoyed readers. <p> So if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess. <p> Hm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs. <p> If a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess. <p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p> Authors sometimes get carried away with adding conflict to every scene. This can result in melodrama and drag scenes on longer than they should. However, an even greater danger is ignoring tension and suspense. If they’re forgotten or poorly executed, the story will suffer. But what are they? <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg <center><a href= "https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/"> The Suspense Builds! </a> </center> <p> Tension is the emotional factor that plays into conflict and suspense is uncertainty about the outcome of an event. Let’s use an example. <p> Two friends find themselves on opposing sides in a war. They meet each other during a battle and are shocked to see one another. They must decide to kill their former friend or not. <p> Now let’s break it down. The conflict is that the two friends are fighting for two opposing sides. The tension, or emotional aspect, is that they’re friends. Finally, the suspense is the outcome. Will they fight or will they not fight? If the scene is written properly and the readers care about the characters it can result in a tension and suspenseful conflict. <p> </p> <p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p> <p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p> <p><a href="https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p> <p><em>Adverbs</em></p> <p> <a href="https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p> <p> <a href="http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p> <p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p> <p><a href="https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p> </html> http://literary-devices.com/content/suspense |

If the scene is written properly and the readers care about the characters it can result in a tension and suspenseful conflict. <p> </p> <p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p> <p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p> <p><a href="https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p> <p><em>Adverbs</em></p> <p> <a href="https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p> <p> <a href="http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p> <p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p> <p><a href="https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p> </html> http://literary-devices.com/content/suspense |

"body": "<p>Yay, the first guide post and it’s tearing down commonly given writing tips! I’m gonna get yelled at aren’t I? But before anyone starts raging in the comments, please understand that I do mostly agree with this advice. However, a lot of people misinterpret this advice. If you feel I’m wrong, then you’re free to rage down in the comments in an organized and orderly manner. \n<p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmetbH9MVeYkf5784EU62bmBWX8qnZqqmayb5d3qu2LwaM/Pic%20Conecpt%201%20Fix.png </p>\n<p><center> <strong>1. Show and do Tell</strong> </center></p>\n<p> Show, don’t tell is a good piece of advice yet I think writers take this too literally. I’ve read stories where the author shows <em>everything </em>and it gets rather annoying reading block after block of text. This even extended to travel between locations. Unless something happens that changes the plot’s course, develop character, or just plain cool/humorous, I don’t want to read lengthy passages of nothingness. </p>\n<p>Telling is sometimes necessary too. Readers need to know important lore info or certain scenes such as a fight between two characters to provide a quicker pace.</p>\n<p>However, this does not give a writer an excuse to always tell in modern day. Unless it’s required for the type of story you’re writing, like a short story, many readers will get bored. This is why show, don’t tell is a popular piece of advice to give. </p>\n<p>Personally, I think showing should be largely restricted to character actions, senses, emotions, and thoughts. Describing a couch in detail is something I don’t want to know aside from a few details. Like dog poop recently being cleaned, but still has a stain and a character sits on said stain. Or, if a story has multiple POVs a writer could use the couch to show how different characters react to it. </p>\n<p>For example, </p>\n<p><em>John studied the couch. It seemed sub-par to what he was used to as being rich allowed for top of the line seats. He even got discounts from certain producers because he was white. However, he was having money trouble and needed a new couch proto. So here he was, looking at sub par furniture.</em> </p>\n<p><em>This couch caught his because it was a rich brown and was leather, similar to the couch that was thrown out. The only problem was some kind of stain spread over the bottom cushions. Oh it didn’t matter, it was a stain, he can clean it.</em></p>\n<p><em>Now to test how comfortable it was.</em> </p>\n<p>-</p>\n<p><em>Jeremy had found the perfect couch for his meager budget. It was a rich brown and made out of leather! He never had a leather couch before. All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p>\n<p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p>\n<p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully, there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p>\n<p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide a to showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p>\n<p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p>\n<p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p>\n<p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png\n<center><a href= \"https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/\"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center>\n<p>\nAnyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb which can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. It would also be difficult to avoid adverbs since there are several words that can be adverbs, verbs, adjectives, etc.\n<p>\nFor example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. \nSo if it’s required at times, so why all the hate? \n<p>\nI believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too often or in the wrong places annoyed readers.\n<p>\nSo if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess.\n<p>\nHm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs.\n<p>\nIf a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess.\n<p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p>\nAuthors sometimes get carried away with adding conflict to every scene. This can result in melodrama and drag scenes on longer than they should. However, an even greater danger is ignoring tension and suspense. If they’re forgotten or poorly executed, the story will suffer. But what are they? \n<p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg\n<center><a href= \"https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/\"> The Suspense Builds! </a> </center>\n<p>\nTension is the emotional factor that plays into conflict and suspense is uncertainty about the outcome of an event. Let’s use an example.\n<p>\nTwo friends find themselves on opposing sides in a war. They meet each other during a battle and are shocked to see one another. They must decide to kill their former friend or not. \n<p>\nNow let’s break it down. The conflict is that the two friends are fighting for two opposing sides. The tension, or emotional aspect, is that they’re friends. Finally, the suspense is the outcome. Will they fight or will they not fight? \nIf the scene is written properly and the readers care about the characters it can result in a tension and suspenseful conflict.\n<p>\n </p>\n<p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p>\n<p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/\">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/\">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p>\n<p><em>Adverbs</em></p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs\">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/\">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs\">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p>\n<p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/\">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/\">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/\">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p>\n</html>\nhttp://literary-devices.com/content/suspense",

| title | [Currently Fixing Errors] Archie's Writing Guide: 3 Misunderstood Writing Tips |
| body | <b>Note: Someone has pointed out there are errors in my work and after reading through the guide, that does seem to be the case. I'll fix these errors, but for the time being leave my guide up incase you wish to read.</b> <p> <p>Yay, the first guide post and it’s tearing down commonly given writing tips! I’m gonna get yelled at aren’t I? But before anyone starts raging in the comments, please understand that I do mostly agree with this advice. However, a lot of people misinterpret this advice. If you feel I’m wrong, then you’re free to rage down in the comments in an organized and orderly manner. https://steemitimages.com/DQmetbH9MVeYkf5784EU62bmBWX8qnZqqmayb5d3qu2LwaM/Pic%20Conecpt%201%20Fix.png </p> <p><center> <strong>1. Show and do Tell</strong> </center></p> <p> Show, don’t tell is good piece of advice yet I think writers take this too literally. I’ve read stories where the author shows <em>everything </em>and it gets rather annoying reading block after block of text. This even extended to travel between locations. Unless something happens that changes the plot’s course, develop character, or just plain cool/humorous, I don’t want to read lengthy passages of nothingness. </p> <p>Telling is sometimes necessary too. Sometimes readers need to know important lore info or telling certain action scenes such as fighting to provide a quicker pace.</p> <p>However, this does not give a writer an excuse to always tell in modern day. Unless it’s required for the type of story you’re writing, say a short story, many readers will get bored. This is why show, don’t tell is a popular piece of advice to give. </p> <p>Personally, though, I think showing should be largely restricted to character actions, senses, emotions, and thoughts. Describing a couch in detail is something I don’t want to know aside from a few details. Like dog poop recently being cleaned, but still has a stain and a character sits on said stain. Or, if a story has multiple POVs a writer could use the couch to show how different characters view it. </p> <p>For example, </p> <p><em>John studied the couch. It seemed sub-par to what he was used to as being rich allowed for top of the line seats. He even got discounts from certain producers because he was white. However, he was having money trouble and needed a new couch proto. So here he was, looking at sub par furniture.</em> </p> <p><em>This couch caught his because it was a rich brown and was leather, similar to the couch that was thrown out. The only problem was some kind of stain spread over the bottom cushions. Oh it didn’t matter, it was a stain, he can clean it.</em></p> <p><em>Now to test how comfortable it was.</em> </p> <p>-</p> <p><em>Jeremy had found the perfect couch for a budget. It was a rich brown and was made out of leather! He never had a leather couch before. All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p> <p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p> <p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p> <p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide about showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p> <p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p> <p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png <center><a href= "https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center> <p> <p>Anyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb and can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. In fact, it would be difficult avoid adverbs since there are several words that are both adverbs and something else. </p> <p>For example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. </p> <p>So if it’s required at times then why all the hate? </p> <p>I believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too much or in the wrong places which confused the readers. Furthermore, many end with ly which can get annoying if five to ten are used in a single chapter. </p> <p>So if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess. </p> <p>Hm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs. </p> <p>If a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess. </p> <p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p> <p>The advice ‘there must be conflict in every scene’ doesn’t make sense to me. While conflict is important to any story, it does not mean there must be conflict all the time. Doing this may result in manufactured conflict or melodrama. Barring expectations, this is not good for a story because it can drag scenes on when they should be finish in a couple of paragraphs. </p> <p>So what can writers do to resolve this? Let me introduce Conflict’s cousin, Tension. </p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg <center><a href="https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/">The tension builds!</a></center> <p> <p>Writers do get these two mixed up at times so let’s clarify what they are. Conflict is the active one. It’s the confrontation between two characters with opposing goals that lead to a clash. Tension is the subtle, passive one. It’s the threat of conflict such as two characters, formerly friends, fighting for two opposing sides. They meet up in the battlefield and talk to each other while gripping their weapons nervously. </p> <p> This could go one of two ways.

"title": "[Currently Fixing Errors] Archie's Writing Guide: 3 Misunderstood Writing Tips",
"body": "<b>Note: Someone has pointed out there are errors in my work and after reading through the guide, that does seem to be the case. I'll fix these errors, but for the time being leave my guide up incase you wish to read.</b>\n<p>\n<p>Yay, the first guide post and it’s tearing down commonly given writing tips! I’m gonna get yelled at aren’t I? But before anyone starts raging in the comments, please understand that I do mostly agree with this advice. However, a lot of people misinterpret this advice. If you feel I’m wrong, then you’re free to rage down in the comments in an organized and orderly manner. https://steemitimages.com/DQmetbH9MVeYkf5784EU62bmBWX8qnZqqmayb5d3qu2LwaM/Pic%20Conecpt%201%20Fix.png </p>\n<p><center> <strong>1. Show and do Tell</strong> </center></p>\n<p> Show, don’t tell is good piece of advice yet I think writers take this too literally. I’ve read stories where the author shows <em>everything </em>and it gets rather annoying reading block after block of text. This even extended to travel between locations. Unless something happens that changes the plot’s course, develop character, or just plain cool/humorous, I don’t want to read lengthy passages of nothingness. </p>\n<p>Telling is sometimes necessary too. Sometimes readers need to know important lore info or telling certain action scenes such as fighting to provide a quicker pace.</p>\n<p>However, this does not give a writer an excuse to always tell in modern day. Unless it’s required for the type of story you’re writing, say a short story, many readers will get bored. This is why show, don’t tell is a popular piece of advice to give. </p>\n<p>Personally, though, I think showing should be largely restricted to character actions, senses, emotions, and thoughts. Describing a couch in detail is something I don’t want to know aside from a few details. Like dog poop recently being cleaned, but still has a stain and a character sits on said stain. Or, if a story has multiple POVs a writer could use the couch to show how different characters view it. </p>\n<p>For example, </p>\n<p><em>John studied the couch. It seemed sub-par to what he was used to as being rich allowed for top of the line seats. He even got discounts from certain producers because he was white. However, he was having money trouble and needed a new couch proto. So here he was, looking at sub par furniture.</em> </p>\n<p><em>This couch caught his because it was a rich brown and was leather, similar to the couch that was thrown out. The only problem was some kind of stain spread over the bottom cushions. Oh it didn’t matter, it was a stain, he can clean it.</em></p>\n<p><em>Now to test how comfortable it was.</em> </p>\n<p>-</p>\n<p><em>Jeremy had found the perfect couch for a budget. It was a rich brown and was made out of leather! He never had a leather couch before. All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p>\n<p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p>\n<p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p>\n<p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide about showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p>\n<p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p>\n<p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p>\n<p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png\n<center><a href= \"https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/\"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center>\n<p>\n<p>Anyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb and can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. In fact, it would be difficult avoid adverbs since there are several words that are both adverbs and something else. </p>\n<p>For example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. </p>\n<p>So if it’s required at times then why all the hate? </p>\n<p>I believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too much or in the wrong places which confused the readers. Furthermore, many end with ly which can get annoying if five to ten are used in a single chapter. </p>\n<p>So if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess. </p>\n<p>Hm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs. </p>\n<p>If a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess. </p>\n<p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p>\n<p>The advice ‘there must be conflict in every scene’ doesn’t make sense to me. While conflict is important to any story, it does not mean there must be conflict all the time. Doing this may result in manufactured conflict or melodrama. Barring expectations, this is not good for a story because it can drag scenes on when they should be finish in a couple of paragraphs. </p>\n<p>So what can writers do to resolve this? Let me introduce Conflict’s cousin, Tension. </p>\n<p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg\n<center><a href=\"https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/\">The tension builds!</a></center>\n<p>\n<p>Writers do get these two mixed up at times so let’s clarify what they are. Conflict is the active one. It’s the confrontation between two characters with opposing goals that lead to a clash. Tension is the subtle, passive one. It’s the threat of conflict such as two characters, formerly friends, fighting for two opposing sides. They meet up in the battlefield and talk to each other while gripping their weapons nervously. </p>\n<p> This could go one of two ways. The former friends start fighting which is conflict and since tension was there, it spices up the conflict because we got to know the characters a little more. Or they go their separate ways without conflict. However, since the threat of conflict was there, readers will be on edge, wondering if they’re going to fight each other. </p>\n<p>So if a writer combines both tension and conflict correctly, it can result in a wondrous scene. </p>\n<p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p>\n<p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/\">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/\">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p>\n<p><em>Adverbs</em></p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs\">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/\">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs\">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p>\n<p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/\">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/\">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/\">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p>\n</html>",

| title | Archie's Writing Guide: 3 Misunderstood Writing Tips |
| body | <p>Yay, the first guide post and it’s tearing down commonly given writing tips! I’m gonna get yelled at aren’t I? But before anyone starts raging in the comments, please understand that I do mostly agree with this advice. However, a lot of people misinterpret this advice. If you feel I’m wrong, then you’re free to rage down in the comments in an organized and orderly manner. https://steemitimages.com/DQmetbH9MVeYkf5784EU62bmBWX8qnZqqmayb5d3qu2LwaM/Pic%20Conecpt%201%20Fix.png </p> <p><center> <strong>1. Show and do Tell</strong> </center></p> <p> Show, don’t tell is good piece of advice yet I think writers take this too literally. I’ve read stories where the author shows <em>everything </em>and it gets rather annoying reading block after block of text. This even extended to travel between locations. Unless something happens that changes the plot’s course, develop character, or just plain cool/humorous, I don’t want to read lengthy passages of nothingness. </p> <p>Telling is sometimes necessary too. Sometimes readers need to know important lore info or telling certain action scenes such as fighting to provide a quicker pace.</p> <p>However, this does not give a writer an excuse to always tell in modern day. Unless it’s required for the type of story you’re writing, say a short story, many readers will get bored. This is why show, don’t tell is a popular piece of advice to give. </p> <p>Personally, though, I think showing should be largely restricted to character actions, senses, emotions, and thoughts. Describing a couch in detail is something I don’t want to know aside from a few details. Like dog poop recently being cleaned, but still has a stain and a character sits on said stain. Or, if a story has multiple POVs a writer could use the couch to show how different characters view it. </p> <p>For example, </p> <p><em>John studied the couch. It seemed sub-par to what he was used to as being rich allowed for top of the line seats. He even got discounts from certain producers because he was white. However, he was having money trouble and needed a new couch proto. So here he was, looking at sub par furniture.</em> </p> <p><em>This couch caught his because it was a rich brown and was leather, similar to the couch that was thrown out. The only problem was some kind of stain spread over the bottom cushions. Oh it didn’t matter, it was a stain, he can clean it.</em></p> <p><em>Now to test how comfortable it was.</em> </p> <p>-</p> <p><em>Jeremy had found the perfect couch for a budget. It was a rich brown and was made out of leather! He never had a leather couch before. All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p> <p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p> <p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p> <p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide about showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p> <p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p> <p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png <center><a href= "https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center> <p> <p>Anyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb and can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. In fact, it would be difficult avoid adverbs since there are several words that are both adverbs and something else. </p> <p>For example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. </p> <p>So if it’s required at times then why all the hate? </p> <p>I believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too much or in the wrong places which confused the readers. Furthermore, many end with ly which can get annoying if five to ten are used in a single chapter. </p> <p>So if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess. </p> <p>Hm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs. </p> <p>If a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess. </p> <p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p> <p>The advice ‘there must be conflict in every scene’ doesn’t make sense to me. While conflict is important to any story, it does not mean there must be conflict all the time. Doing this may result in manufactured conflict or melodrama. Barring expectations, this is not good for a story because it can drag scenes on when they should be finish in a couple of paragraphs. </p> <p>So what can writers do to resolve this? Let me introduce Conflict’s cousin, Tension. </p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg <center><a href="https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/">The tension builds!</a></center> <p> <p>Writers do get these two mixed up at times so let’s clarify what they are. Conflict is the active one. It’s the confrontation between two characters with opposing goals that lead to a clash. Tension is the subtle, passive one. It’s the threat of conflict such as two characters, formerly friends, fighting for two opposing sides. They meet up in the battlefield and talk to each other while gripping their weapons nervously. </p> <p> This could go one of two ways. The former friends start fighting which is conflict and since tension was there, it spices up the conflict because we got to know the characters a little more. Or they go their separate ways without conflict. However, since the threat of conflict was there, readers will be on edge, wondering if they’re going to fight each other. </p> <p>So if a writer combines both tension and conflict correctly, it can result in a wondrous scene. </p> <p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p> <p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p> <p><a href="https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p> <p><em>Adverbs</em></p> <p> <a href="https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p> <p> <a href="http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p> <p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p> <p><a href="https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p> </html> |

| title | Archie's Writing Guide: 3 Misunderstood Writing Tips |
| body | <p>Yay, the first guide post and it’s tearing down commonly given writing tips! I’m gonna get yelled at aren’t I? But before anyone starts raging in the comments, please understand that I do mostly agree with this advice. However, a lot of people misinterpret this advice. If you feel I’m wrong, then you’re free to rage down in the comments in an organized and orderly manner. https://steemitimages.com/DQmetbH9MVeYkf5784EU62bmBWX8qnZqqmayb5d3qu2LwaM/Pic%20Conecpt%201%20Fix.png </p> <p><center> <strong>1. Show and do Tell</strong> </center></p> <p> Show, don’t tell is good piece of advice yet I think writers take this too literally. I’ve read stories where the author shows <em>everything </em>and it gets rather annoying reading block after block of text. This even extended to travel between locations. Unless something happens that changes the plot’s course, develop character, or just plain cool/humorous, I don’t want to read lengthy passages of nothingness. </p> <p>Telling is sometimes necessary too. Sometimes readers need to know important lore info or telling certain action scenes such as fighting to provide a quicker pace.</p> <p>However, this does not give a writer an excuse to always tell in modern day. Unless it’s required for the type of story you’re writing, say a short story, many readers will get bored. This is why show, don’t tell is a popular piece of advice to give. </p> <p>Personally, though, I think showing should be largely restricted to character actions, senses, emotions, and thoughts. Describing a couch in detail is something I don’t want to know aside from a few details. Like dog poop recently being cleaned, but still has a stain and a character sits on said stain. Or, if a story has multiple POVs a writer could use the couch to show how different characters view it. </p> <p>For example, </p> <p><em>John studied the couch. It seemed sub-par to what he was used to as being rich allowed for top of the line seats. He even got discounts from certain producers because he was white. However, he was having money trouble and needed a new couch proto. So here he was, looking at sub par furniture.</em> </p> <p><em>This couch caught his because it was a rich brown and was leather, similar to the couch that was thrown out. The only problem was some kind of stain spread over the bottom cushions. Oh it didn’t matter, it was a stain, he can clean it.</em></p> <p><em>Now to test how comfortable it was.</em> </p> <p>-</p> <p><em>Jeremy had found the perfect couch for a budget. It was a rich brown and was made out of leather! He never had a leather couch before. All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p> <p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p> <p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p> <p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide about showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p> <p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p> <p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png <center><a href= "https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center> <p> <p>Anyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb and can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. In fact, it would be difficult avoid adverbs since there are several words that are both adverbs and something else. </p> <p>For example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. </p> <p>So if it’s required at times then why all the hate? </p> <p>I believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too much or in the wrong places which confused the readers. Furthermore, many end with ly which can get annoying if five to ten are used in a single chapter. </p> <p>So if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess. </p> <p>Hm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs. </p> <p>If a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess. </p> <p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p> <p>The advice ‘there must be conflict in every scene’ doesn’t make sense to me. While conflict is important to any story, it does not mean there must be conflict all the time. Doing this may result in manufactured conflict or melodrama. Barring expectations, this is not good for a story because it can drag scenes on when they should be finish in a couple of paragraphs. </p> <p>So what can writers do to resolve this? Let me introduce Conflict’s cousin, Tension. </p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg <center><a href="https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/">The tension builds!</a></center> <p> <p>Writers do get these two mixed up at times so let’s clarify what they are. Conflict is the active one. It’s the confrontation between two characters with opposing goals that lead to a clash. Tension is the subtle, passive one. It’s the threat of conflict such as two characters, formerly friends, fighting for two opposing sides. They meet up in the battlefield and talk to each other while gripping their weapons nervously. </p> <p> This could go one of two ways. The former friends start fighting which is conflict and since tension was there, it spices up the conflict because we got to know the characters a little more. Or they go their separate ways without conflict. However, since the threat of conflict was there, readers will be on edge, wondering if they’re going to fight each other. </p> <p>So if a writer combines both tension and conflict correctly, it can result in a wondrous scene. </p> <p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p> <p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p> <p><a href="https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p> <p><em>Adverbs</em></p> <p> <a href="https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p> <p> <a href="http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p> <p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p> <p><a href="https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p> <p><a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p> <p> <a href="https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p> </html> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> https://steemitimages.com/DQmYExHaVQLcSMwrcZ1u2D23tzXGSPgX19ETpN5mfMt38mP/U5dtNZY2dN4SAfeUzwj6ZvmyxGPUEYu.gif |

All of his friends are going to be envious, or crack jokes that another brownie had joined their little group of colored people.</em></p>\n<p><em>However, there was just one problem. He’d seen his puppy crap the old couch enough times to recognize a poop stain and this one was spread over the bottom cushions. How could a dog leave such a huge stain though? </em></p>\n<p><em>Whatever, he’ll just tell the seller there’s a big stain on it. Hopefully there was a stain remover nearby. </em> </p>\n<p>In the end, combining both showing and telling is a great tool for any writer. I’ll also post a more in-depth guide about showing and telling sentences and when to use them in the future as well. </p>\n<p><center><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Don’t Avoid the Costly Adverb</strong> </center></p>\n<p>I wonder how many people screamed when they saw this one.</p>\n<p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmWS8KaMQACPse8d3gW8UFiyXxg4mQFBsHG9CjxfUwWUCG/horror-2028165_960_720.png\n<center><a href= \"https://pixabay.com/en/horror-retro-scream-screaming-2028165/\"> Please rage in the comments in a calm and orderly fashion</a></center>\n<p>\n<p>Anyways, the advice, ‘avoid adverbs’ isn’t useful. I think it should be reworded to ‘use adverbs sparingly’ instead. After all, adverbs aren’t bad because they’re a writing tool. Their purpose is to modify or qualify an adjective, verb, or another adverb and can be used to great effect if done properly. So avoiding adverbs would restrict a writer’s way of communicating an idea. In fact, it would be difficult avoid adverbs since there are several words that are both adverbs and something else. </p>\n<p>For example, before. Before is a preposition, conjunction, & adverb and would be required for describing distance. </p>\n<p>So if it’s required at times then why all the hate? </p>\n<p>I believe it started because many novice writers used it to enhance their prose. But they failed to use it in the proper way. Adverbs were either used too much or in the wrong places which confused the readers. Furthermore, many end with ly which can get annoying if five to ten are used in a single chapter. </p>\n<p>So if a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a straightforwardly narrative and not an uncomprehendingly mess. </p>\n<p>Hm, I’m not sure you get it. Let me reword it and reduce the adverbs. </p>\n<p>If a writer used adverbs sparingly, it would result in a clear narrative and not a mess. </p>\n<p><strong></strong> <strong><center>3. Conflict and Tension make Wonderful Scenes</center></strong> </p>\n<p>The advice ‘there must be conflict in every scene’ doesn’t make sense to me. While conflict is important to any story, it does not mean there must be conflict all the time. Doing this may result in manufactured conflict or melodrama. Barring expectations, this is not good for a story because it can drag scenes on when they should be finish in a couple of paragraphs. </p>\n<p>So what can writers do to resolve this? Let me introduce Conflict’s cousin, Tension. </p>\n<p>\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmfVA4Bjmado8TwoYo9QFttPtXtEw714fhhPiee1pF6cHn/grain-3026099_960_720.jpg\n<center><a href=\"https://pixabay.com/en/grain-retro-forties-trepidation-3026099/\">The tension builds!</a></center>\n<p>\n<p>Writers do get these two mixed up at times so let’s clarify what they are. Conflict is the active one. It’s the confrontation between two characters with opposing goals that lead to a clash. Tension is the subtle, passive one. It’s the threat of conflict such as two characters, formerly friends, fighting for two opposing sides. They meet up in the battlefield and talk to each other while gripping their weapons nervously. </p>\n<p> This could go one of two ways. The former friends start fighting which is conflict and since tension was there, it spices up the conflict because we got to know the characters a little more. Or they go their separate ways without conflict. However, since the threat of conflict was there, readers will be on edge, wondering if they’re going to fight each other. </p>\n<p>So if a writer combines both tension and conflict correctly, it can result in a wondrous scene. </p>\n<p><strong>Further Reading</strong> </p>\n<p><em>Show, don’t Tell</em> </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/\">https://kidlit.com/2010/06/23/when-to-tell-instead-of-show/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/\">https://novelrocket.com/2017/04/5-reasons-to-tell-instead-of-show.html/</a> </p>\n<p><em>Adverbs</em></p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs\">https://io9.gizmodo.com/5437610/seriously-whats-so-bad-about-adverbs</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/\">https://mattmoorewrites.com/2012/10/18/the-avoid-adverbs-rule-is-very-wrong/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs\">http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/there-are-no-rules/dont-dismiss-adverbs</a> </p>\n<p><em>Conflict and Tension</em></p>\n<p><a href=\"https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/\">https://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2016/07/03/conflict-in-every-scene-disasters-in-every-act-yes-and-no/</a> </p>\n<p><a href=\"https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/\">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/conflict-and-tension/</a> </p>\n<p> <a href=\"https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/\">https://www.helpingwritersbecomeauthors.com/misused-writing-advice/</a> - At Number 5 </p>\n</html>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n<p>\n\nhttps://steemitimages.com/DQmYExHaVQLcSMwrcZ1u2D23tzXGSPgX19ETpN5mfMt38mP/U5dtNZY2dN4SAfeUzwj6ZvmyxGPUEYu.gif",
