Being a Better Writer: Showing Small Character Details · 7:54pm Dec 13th, 2021
As usual, you can find the full post here!
Hello readers! And welcome back to another installment of Being a Better Writer! A unique installment. For several reasons, in fact! And yes, it has to do with why there was only one post last week on the site.
But first, just a forewarning that today’s post is the last installment of BaBW for the year. Why? Because it’s almost Christmas! And I need my holiday break! There will be a few other posts, but BaBW and other usual content will be on hiatus until the new year.
The second thing that makes today’s post unusual is that it is being written via my phone. Why? Well, it has to do with the lack of a second post last week. See … I threw my back out.
Badly. So badly I couldn’t even crawl. Yeah. It was misery. I got it fixed up today, but one of the doctor’s requests was a twofold “Don’t spend your day sitting” and “get a new office chair” (the old one being a very likely culprit for my problems).
So a new post didn’t happen. And since today’s is “away from keyboard” it means that I am attempting to write this with my phone. And at the mercy of autocorrect.
But if that’s what it takes … Regardless, this post might be home to a few errors more than expected, as well as shorter than is customary. But I’m doing my best here.
So, hit the jump, and let’s get started.
First, all my sympathies with the back problems.
Second, is it really better to be bent over a phone writing these things than bending over a keyboard?

Hahaha, good question. Though I was able to walk around (as the doctor requested) and lie on my back icing and heating the muscles while I wrote it on the phone.
That said, the phone experience was awful. I really don't want to repeat that anytime soon.
