Final Blog Tour Stops: How Filtering the POV Affects Telling, & Finding the Balance Between Showing and Telling

Hi gang!

I can't believe this is the last and final stop on the Better Fiction Blog Tour. To end with a bang, I have two stops full of show, don't tell goodness.

Stop One visits The Write Life How to Find a Balance Between Showing and Telling.

Stop Two heads over to Writers in the Storm to discuss How Filtering the Point of View Affects Show, Don’t Tell.

If you haven't entered the October critique contest yet, these are the last two chances to win a ten-page critique.

Come on over and say hello (and goodbye, as it all ends soon)!
