Mom called and shed light on my "telling" style

I received a call from my mother this morning and in the conversation she shed light on why I "tell" more than "show"...she and I have a way of talking about something and talking about it some more...we talk and then speculate about the talk and then talk about it some more...so of course that would come through when I set out to write fiction. "THANKS, MOM!"

Now...back to showing more telling less...LOVE YA, MOM! (she knows me)
