Excellent article, Jacquie! Showing and not telling is an area I’m working on. You always have such great information for us! I can’t wait for your future post on this subject!

Thank you, Mercedes and Gerri!

Jane, I have an article on showing partially worked up, but I’m not sure when I’ll get it finished. Texty Ladies will be the first to see it, though.

Thanks, Margaret. I didn’t need to do a whole lot of research because I grew up in Idaho where Jackson Sundown lived (and his legend lives on), not too far from Pendleton, where Bill Pickett made a huge splash (and where his legend lives on), plus I knew about Bonnie McCarroll’s death at Pendleton. I did need to research more about women in rodeo. Their accomplishments are amazing–and practically unknown, which is a shame.

Hi Jacquie,
Great article. Very informative, you must hve done a lot of research on it. Being an historical romance writer myself, I love anything to do with history.

Hi Jacquie! Great article!
I still have some trouble with telling, and it’s something I struggle with every time I write a story. Do you have or know of any really helpful ’show don’t tell’ articles or links?
