more tales of not telling

 

In case you're wondering. the pic is a car park outside the movie theatre in Rocky. Get the vibe?

This morning I've been working on the introduction to my "Not telling" paper. This has required quite a bit more thinking about the argument that will frame the paper. Nevertheless, I enjoyed getting the first paragraph right, and also have the next sentence that will follow. My first attempt read like a history of writing pedagogy, whereas really I am wanting to contextualize talk about writing in relation to current, and balanced, approaches to independent writing.
