Sweets tree. It seemed a good idea at the beginning of the season to have this tree at the kitchen table but now, I've overdone the sweets and want salad!
Writing: There's overdone prose, hyperbole, saccharine sentiment--so many ways to overdo in writing. The opposite is as bad--telling instead of showing, lack of setting and characterization --offering the reader too little. Balance like a healthy diet is so hard to maintain!

  1. This tree looks so yummy. I'm telling you Pam, you should write a book on writing...

  2. "telling instead of showing ...," that's one to ponder.
