We\u2019ve all heard this phrase\u2014it\u2019s a social media staple. Tell me\u2026without telling me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The answer might be: \u201cI ain\u2019t never gone to The Statue of Liberty.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Honestly, New Yorkers tend not to do the tourist-y destinations. Plus, as a Jersey Girl, I must divulge that The Statue is in New Jersey.)<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not what this is about.<\/p>\n

This post is about your new picture book writing mantra.<\/p>\n

You want your readers to know that your main character, Suzy, is quiet. But don\u2019t you dare write \u201cSuzy is quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tell me\u2026without telling me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSuzy\u2019s slippers whisper across the carpet.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Or something similar.)<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve gotten her quiet nature across, and maybe suggested that she\u2019s stealthy, too.<\/p>\n

Sure, you\u2019ve heard this tip before, typically in the form of \u201cshow, don\u2019t tell.\u201d But this new tip is one made for the new millennium. Shoot, it\u2019s been the new millennium for a hot minute now, so maybe it\u2019s made for the social media era or whatever we choose to call this point in time. No matter, it\u2019s a good way to spruce up your picture book writing. \u201cSuzy is quiet\u201d is not only too direct, but it\u2019s passive. So\u2026<\/p>\n
