We Need a Montage!* How to Show a Character Learning Without Boring Your Readers

By Janice Hardy, @Janice_Hardy

This week's Refresher Friday takes another look at a reader question on how to show a character learning a skill without spending a lot of time on it.
Q: In the beginning of my book the main character is given powers, and by the midpoint she has to be relatively competent (but no expert) in using them. How do I have her training and learning to use her powers (while discovering the setting of the book, the other characters, etc) without it being super boring?
