llaking it easier.

Sometimes it's hard for me to write the "showing" part because I can't

actually "se" it myself. When this happens, I make a list of everything I want to show before

actuallywrite out ttre sentences. Shat I do is think about the "tell" par{, clme my eyes, make a
picture of what I see, and then make a list on the "sholt'' side. I use this Ust to udte it dl up.
