Explanation

Show, do not tell: Instead of “she was angry,” show it: “Her fists clenched and jaw tightened.” Use sensory details to create vivid scenes.

Techniques: metaphor, simile, personification, dialogue, varied sentence length, specific nouns and strong verbs. Avoid clichés and overused phrases.

Story elements: conflict drives plot, characters must be believable, setting establishes mood. Hook readers from the start. End with impact – resolution or thought-provoking twist.
