    [So Lit] The Writing Lab 8: Techniques and Devices in Writing Fiction

    You're probably wondering how writers become so excellent with their words that they were able to sway you, transport you in another realm, feel emotions you thought you wouldn't ever feel. I used to wonder about that, too. Up until now, to be honest. But as I've studied more about Creative Writing and Literature, I realized that writers employ literary devices and techniques to turn their writings into a work of art and encapsulate the meanings they desire to share their readers. In this episode, that's what we'll talk about. Now, there are myriad of techniques and devices used in literature, but we'll discuss some which are helpful and important. So click on that play button and take a listen.

    Ever heard of the line, "Show, don't tell"? I'm sure a lot of you had heard this before. In this episode, we'll expound on the importance of narrative and descriptive writing, how they're interconnected when we deal with Creative Writing, and how descriptive do we need to be in a narrative. When do we tell and when do we show?  It's so easy to say, "Show, don't tell." It isn't so mouthful, is it? But how do we exactly 'show' rather than 'tell'? Listen to this podcast episode to find out.
