To write well, express yourself like the common people, but think like a wise man. – Aristotle

We write because we have passion for the stories, worlds, and characters we create. We want nothing more than to show others the fantastic things we’ve imagined. For new authors, that often leads to exposition.

There’s a delicate line between providing enough information for the reader to understand and giving them too much. That’s why through June, we’re talking about Avoiding the Info Dump. Each episode, we talk about the best ways to explain and describe different elements of your world, from the magic to the character’s backstory.
