We spent the whole class working on the differences between Showing and Telling in writing. We had an exercise where we had to re-write a scene and make it more showing. Mine stunk. Not that I couldn't write using imagery and the senses, but I just couldn't write under pressure. I wrote, I crossed out, I wrote some more, I crossed out some more. It was painful.
Also, I have noticed that my dominant voice is first person. Anything I write in third person generally sucks. Go figure.
