Tell, Don't Show! By James Lofquist is a short and straight to the point pamphlet that teaches a simple writing technique for your first draft.  Instead of struggling for hours on end coming up with big paragraphs describing a scene, the author advises you to simply tell it or list it, and move on with the rest of your draft.  The rationale is to allow your free thinking and creativity to takes its course, and lead you to continue on with your draft.The pamphlet provides examples using this technique, and also exercises to practice this technique.  At the end is a very helpful recommended list of books to read further on writing.Tell, Don't Show! by James Lofquist is a must read for fiction writers.
