Next could you reclaim 'telling' as in 'show don't tell' - one of my least favourite writing rules!

I agree. 😄 I don't know if I'll tackle it though. I might. It's a subject that gets covered pretty well, from many different takes. My intent here is to hunt down the tools and techniques available to us as our prose style advances... information that's generally hard to find, and that has me a bit nervous after 14 essays. I want at least 25 in this series, preferably more, and I'm always afraid I'll run out. We'll see.

Fair enough! 14 seems like a good effort, Thaddeus. 25 - amazing! I suppose, if you continue to turn to those writers that inspire you and analyse how they write, what their idiosyncrasies are, where they tend to break with convention, you'll have plenty to go on :)
