The Show Don't Tell Bundle"Show", don't "tell", might be the single most common piece of advice authors of fiction both give and receive. But what does this actually mean, and how can you apply the concept to your writing? The differences are usually not so easily spelled out. This bundle is designed to break down the aspects of "showing" vs. "telling" so that you can create a convincing and believable world for your readers to explore. We've updated the WD Shop's classic

How to Evoke Emotion in Every Scene OnDemand Webinar $79.99 value Emotion must be demonstrated, not told, to the reader, and there are many powerful tools to do so without falling back on narrative short-cuts or blunt expressions of feeling. In this OnDemand Webinar, Jordan Rosenfeld brings her experience as an author of six books on the craft of writing, and three novels, to discuss writing compelling characters and expressing emotion without relying on overt sentiment or melodrama. |

Write Deeper Characters: Creating Internal Conflict OnDemand Webinar $79.99 value Each individual is driven by a profound inner yearning that defines their dream of life. This core inner conflict, the drive to pursue the promise of life and an equal and opposite drive to minimize the pain of life, informs the character’s sense of lack at the outset of your story, which informs their need to act. In this OnDemand webinar, author David Corbett discusses how to conceive, create, and develop these counteracting forces. |

Visual Storytelling: How to Write Compelling and Visual Fiction OnDemand Webinar $79.99 value Want to write a story with scenes that keep the reader turning the pages? In this OnDemand webinar, Chris Mooney discusses the techniques used by screenwriters - techniques that can be used in fiction to create compelling scenes and characters. |
|
Emotion vs Feeling in Fiction OnDemand Webinar $79.99 value In the “real” world we often consider emotions and feelings much the same thing. In fiction, however, emotions and feelings relate to distinct experiences and evoke different reactions from readers. In this workshop, award-winning author and teacher David Corbett will guide participants on how to distinguish emotion from feeling, how to root each in character, how to reveal each on the page, and how to deepen the reader’s experience accordingly. |

Writer's Digest March/April 2022 Digital Edition $7.99 value Point of view is one of the first things writers learn about creative writing, yet it’s also one of the hardest things to master. This issue explores the many facets of POV, and also includes articles on how using beta readers can give writers a different point of view of their own work, best tips for interviewing from WD Editor-at-Large Tyler Moss, and debut novelist Amanda Jayatissa on how writing her sometimes unlikeable narrator in My Sweet Girl allowed her to see the world differently. |

Writer's Digest May/June 2021 Digital Edition $7.99 value The May/June 2021 issue of Writer's Digest aims to answer questions about topics that pique writers' curiosity and provide resources that will enable curiosity to be a force of inspiration for your work. Plus we explore the value of mentors and how to find one, and in honor of April Fool's Day, Mark Shatz (bestselling author of Comedy Writing Secrets) shares exercises for writing funny. |

Body, Mind, and Soul: Depth in Your Storytelling OnDemand Webinar $79.99 value In this OnDemand webinar, Richard Thomas discusses the different layers of an effective story; to entertain and keep the pages turning, through setting, sensory detail, and action (body), eventually working in an emotional core to go deeper (soul), followed by a unique concept that keeps your audience guessing and thinking, leading to a denouement and epiphany that stimulates the brain (mind). |

Good book
Format: Paperback
Still working through it but I have no complaints. I have a shelf of no starch books and have not been disappointed by any. Some, of course, are better than others but this is a good book.

Dive into Algorithms is more like eating a Parfait than trying understand algorithms!
Format: Paperback
Seriously though great writing and explanation along with great history lessons. Also highly recommend for anyone working in the data science field.

Ok content, not great explanations (2.5 our of 5 stars)
Format: Paperback
I found the contents of this book to be simply ok: either too simple, or the more complicated algorithms and concepts would not be as carefully explained as they should have been. It is not a terrible book, but it feels as though the author did not go over many drafts/iterations of this work.

An Excellent Self-Discovery Approach to Learning Algorithms
Format: Paperback
I have an Ivy League Master's Degree in Computer Science although it was accomplished 35 years ago. Of course, I had to complete an ACM-type course in Algorithms and Data Structures on the undergraduate and graduate level and managed to by rote accomplish enough to satisfy these courses. But until seeing this great book I never had the feeling of gaining an understanding of the approach to learning and building algorithms and the extent to which it is an important component of all programs. By a journey of guided self-discovery the author shows, not only the necessity of algorithms and their canonical forms, but a path to understanding the construction of algorithms to accomplish common and not so common practical problems. These range from the simple to understand, e.g. implementing Russian Peasant Multiplication, to advanced and up to date topics like Machine Learning.
The highest praise I can give this book is that as a journey of guided self-discovery it produces an understanding in the reader of the process of constructing and understanding these algorithms and their place in all programming.

Easy to understand, makes algorithms exciting again!
Format: Kindle
Dive Into Algorithms speaks to me directly as a very intrepid beginner myself. I was given another "learn Python" book several years ago and it languishes on a shelf undisturbed to this day. Dive Into Algorithms had me hooked by the first parfait recipe.
Mr. Tuckfield explains concepts in such a way that any student can learn something. The history, physics, cooking, and math lessons teach us that algorithms are everywhere, and they're not big scary 'big data' monsters out to ruin us. Instead, they're tools to help understand the world around us.
This book has made me excited about programming again. Thank you.
