C2 — 12-dars: Ijodiy va badiiy yozish

C2 — MAHORAT (native) · 12-dars · (maksimal chuqurlik · inglizcha-og'ir)

1. Dars nomi, maqsad va motivatsiya

We now open the four-skills block of C2 — and we begin where expressive language reaches its fullest: creative writing. This is writing not to inform or persuade, but to evoke — to make a reader see, feel, and experience. It is the art of the story, the scene, the vivid description, the living character. Where academic writing (next lesson) prizes clarity and impersonality, creative writing prizes voice, image, and feeling. It is the deepest immersion in the language's expressive power — the place where all the craft we have built (precise words, rhythm, metaphor, style) is turned to the oldest human purpose of language: to tell a story and make it real.

Bu nima uchun muhim — ekspressiv cho'qqi va amaliy ham. Two reasons, one artistic, one practical. Artistically, creative writing is the ultimate stretch of expressive command — developing a voice, mastering imagery and pacing, the fullest ownership of English. Practically, narrative skill enriches everything you do: the job interview is won by candidates who tell vivid, concrete stories (STAR — C1-20), not abstract claims; presentations open with anecdotes; personal statements and cover letters need voice to stand out; even IELTS Speaking Part 2 is a narrative task. The core creative principle — show, don't tell — is the single most transferable writing skill there is. To make the abstract concrete and the dull vivid: that serves the novelist and the job-seeker.

ASOSIY tushuncha — SHOW, don't tell. The master principle of all vivid writing — dramatise, don't summarise:

TELL (mavhum, jonsiz)	SHOW (konkret, jonli)
"She was nervous."	"Her hands trembled as she reached for the door."
"The room was a mess."	"Clothes spilled from the drawers; mugs grew mould on the desk."
"He was a kind old man."	"He saved the crusts for the sparrows, every morning, rain or shine."

Tell — o'quvchiga aytadi; show — o'quvchiga ko'rsatadi, u o'zi xulosa chiqaradi. Konkret detal o'quvchi his qiladi.

O'xshatish — "kino vs konspekt". Telling is like reading a summary of a film: "The hero was brave and won." Showing is like watching the film — you see the hero's white knuckles on the sword, hear the crowd fall silent, feel the held breath. The reader of "show" doesn't receive a conclusion; they have an experience, and draw the conclusion themselves — which is why it moves them. The creative writer is a director, not a reporter: building scenes the reader lives inside, not facts the reader is told. C2 = directing the film in the reader's mind.

Til-fakti: ingliz adabiy an'anasi — dunyodagi eng boy va ta'sirlilaridan biri (Shekspir, Dickens, Austen, Joyce, Woolf, Orwell). Ingliz tilining ijodiy yozuv uchun kuchi: (1) ulkan lug'at (uch qatlam — C2-1 — nozik ohang tanlovi); (2) moslashuvchan sintaksis (ritm uchun — C2-7); (3) konkret, kuchli fe'llar boyligi (stride, shuffle, dash, trudge — bitta "walk"ning o'nlab varianti). Zamonaviy ingliz ijodiy yozuv uslubi — Hemingway'dan beri — soddalik, konkretlik, "show don't tell" ni qadrlaydi (gullab-yashnagan, ortiqcha sifatli "purple prose"ni emas — C2-7). "Creative writing" alohida akademik fan sifatida ingliz dunyosida juda rivojlangan (MFA dasturlari). Bu — tilni eng chuqur "o'ziniki qilish" yo'li.

2. Avvalgi darslardan takror (spiral)

• C2-7 (stilistika): kuchli fe'l, konkret, "show don't tell", ritm — endi hikoyada to'liq.
• C2-10 (metafora) / C2-5 (ovoz vositalari) / C2-1 (aniq so'z) ko'prik.
• C1-20 (intervyu — STAR hikoya) / C1-18 (adabiy o'qish).
• Tez mashq: "He was angry" — show qiling? ("He slammed the door so hard the windows rattled.").

3. Ijodiy yozuv texnikasi — chuqur, to'liq tushuntirish

3.1. Show, don't tell (markaziy tamoyil)

SHOW = dramatize: harakat + sezgi detali + dialog (mavhum xulosa emas)
  TELL:  "The journey was exhausting."
  SHOW:  "By mile twenty, each step was a negotiation. My feet had stopped being feet."
TELL ham kerak (joyida):  tezlashtirish, o'tish, fon uchun (hamma narsani show=sekin)
   MUHIM lahzalarni SHOW, ahamiyatsizini TELL (pacing — 3.4)
SEZGI DETALI (5 sezgi):  ko'rish + ovoz + hid + teginish + ta'm (faqat ko'rish emas)
TELLING DETAIL (bitta aniq detal):  "the chipped mug" — bitta to'g'ri detal mingdan kuchli

3.2. Imagery va sezgilar (concrete sensory detail)

KONKRET > MAVHUM:  "a vehicle"  "a rusted blue pickup, one headlight cracked"
KUCHLI FE'L (C2-7):  "walked sadly"  "trudged" · "looked angrily"  "glared"
ANIQ OT:  "flower"  "a wilting tulip" · "tree"  "a gnarled oak"
SEZGI YOZISH:  ko'rish (rang/shakl/yorug'lik) · ovoz (creak/hum/silence) · hid (damp/smoke)
   teginish (rough/icy) · ta'm · harakat/temperatura
FIGURATIVE (C2-10):  simile/metaphor — yangi, aralashmagan ("Her voice was gravel and honey.")

Konkret, sezgili detal — ijodiy yozuvning yuragi. Mavhum so'z (sad, nice, beautiful) o'quvchini chetda qoldiradi; konkret detal (the wilting tulip, the cracked headlight) uni ichga olib kiradi. Aniqlik = jonlilik.

3.3. Voice va nuqtai nazar (voice & point of view)

NARRATIVE VOICE (kim hikoya qiladi):
  FIRST PERSON (I): yaqin, subyektiv, cheklangan ("I never saw it coming.")
  THIRD LIMITED (he/she, bir ong): tashqi+bir qahramon ichki
  THIRD OMNISCIENT (hammasini biluvchi): erkin, keng (klassik)
  SECOND PERSON (you): kam, eksperimental ("You wake. The room is cold.")
VOICE (yozuvchi/qahramon ovozi):  o'ziga xos ohang, ritm, so'z tanlash, munosabat
   har qahramon/hikoyachi o'z ovoziga ega (bola ≠ professor ≠ askar)
TENSE:  past (an'anaviy, "happened") · present (yaqin, shoshilinch, "happens")

Voice — ijodiy yozuvning "barmoq izi". Bir xil voqea bola ko'zi bilan, professor ko'zi bilan, qotil ko'zi bilan — butunlay boshqa ovozda. POV va voice tanlovi — hikoyaning his-tuyg'usini belgilaydi.

3.4. Narrativ texnika (pacing, structure, tension)

SCENE vs SUMMARY (pacing):
  SCENE (sekin, "real-time", show): muhim lahza — dialog+detal bilan
  SUMMARY (tez, tell): "Three years passed." — ahamiyatsizni o'tkaz
TUZILMA:
  klassik arc: ekspozitsiya  konflikt  avj (climax)  yechim
  IN MEDIAS RES: o'rtadan boshlang (harakat ichida — diqqatni darhol torting)
  HOOK: birinchi jumla o'quvchini ushlasin
TENSION/CONFLICT (har hikoyaning yuragi):  istak vs to'siq · ichki/tashqi ziddiyat
   savol qo'ying (nima bo'ladi?)  o'quvchini ushlab turing
FORESHADOWING / IRONY / SYMBOLISM:  yashirin ishoralar, qatlam

3.5. Character va dialog

CHARACTER (qahramon — harakat/detal orqali, TASVIR emas):
   "She was generous."   ko'rsating: u oxirgi pulini beradi
  detal orqali: kiyimi, odati, gapi, tanlovi  xarakterni OCHADI
  rounded (ko'p qirrali) vs flat (yassi) · istak + nuqson = tirik qahramon
DIALOG (tabiiy, maqsadli, xarakterlovchi):
  tabiiy ritm (to'liq jumla emas, ellipsis, interruption) · har kishi o'z ovozida
  SUBTEXT (ostki ma'no): aytilmagan — "I'm fine." (aslida emas)
  speech tag: "said" ko'pincha yetarli (kulgili "exclaimed/retorted" emas)
  dialog = harakat (g'oya/konflikt oldinga) — bo'sh suhbat emas

Character harakat orqali ochiladi, tasvir orqali emas. "He was brave" — tell; qahramon o't ichiga kirib bolani qutqaradi — show. Dialog ham xarakterlaydi va harakatni oldinga suradi (subtext bilan — aytilmagan ko'pincha aytilgandan kuchli).

3.6. Setting va atmosfera (mood)

SETTING (joy — sezgi bilan asoslangan):  faqat "a city" emas — qaysi, qachon, qanday his
ATMOSFERA/MOOD:  detal tanlovi kayfiyat yaratadi (bir xil xona — qo'rqinchli yoki iliq)
   "The fluorescent light buzzed over the empty corridor." (mood: sovuq, yolg'iz)
PATHETIC FALLACY:  tabiat kayfiyatni aks ettiradi (bo'ron = tahlika) — ehtiyot (klishe)
DETAL TANLANG:  hammasini emas, MUHIM/xarakterli detalni (telling detail)

4. Native nozikliklari va qo'shimcha qoidalar

• "Show, don't tell" — but not always: showing immerses (use it for the important moments — emotion, climax, character), but telling is efficient for transitions, background, and minor info ("A week passed."). Showing everything makes prose bloated and slow. The art is knowing which moments deserve a scene and which a sentence. Show the heartbreak; tell the commute.
• Concrete and specific beats abstract and general — always: the single most reliable upgrade to any writing is specificity. "A bird" "a one-legged pigeon"; "she felt bad" "a stone settled in her stomach." The telling detail — one precise, well-chosen particular — does more than a paragraph of generalisation. This applies far beyond fiction: specific examples win interviews, essays, and arguments.
• Strong verbs and nouns over adjectives and adverbs: amateur creative writing piles on adjectives/adverbs ("she walked slowly and sadly into the dimly-lit, gloomy room"); strong writing chooses precise verbs and nouns ("she shuffled into the shadows"). Verbs carry energy; over-modification clogs. "He said angrily" < "he snapped." Cut the adverb, strengthen the verb (C2-7).
• Dialogue is compressed and purposeful — not transcription: real speech is full of filler and repetition; fictional dialogue is distilled — it sounds natural but every line does work (reveals character, advances conflict, carries subtext). Avoid "as-you-know" exposition dumps. And usually, "said" is the best speech tag — invisible; flashy tags ("he ejaculated," "she retorted") distract. Let the words carry the emotion.
• Find and trust your voice: voice — the distinctive personality of the prose — is what makes writing yours. It emerges from your word choices, rhythms, and sensibility. Don't imitate a "literary" voice you think you should have; write in the voice that's true and let it develop. For learners, this is the final, liberating stage: not just correct English, but your English. (And for practical writing — cover letters, statements — voice is what makes you memorable.)
• Avoid purple prose and cliché — restraint is power: the beginner's twin traps are over-writing (purple prose: too many adjectives, strained metaphors, melodrama — C2-7) and cliché ("a tear rolled down her cheek," "heart pounding," "deafening silence" — C2-10). Both kill freshness. The cure is restraint and specificity: trust the concrete detail, cut the ornament, and replace every cliché with something seen freshly. Less, but truer.
• Erkin bilvosita nutq (free indirect discourse) — native mahoratning belgisi: qahramon ichki ovozini hikoyachi nutqiga quyish — na to'g'ridan-to'g'ri iqtibos ("Bu adolatsizlik," deb o'yladi u), na quruq bayon (U buni adolatsiz deb o'yladi), balki ikkalasi qorishgan uchinchi yo'l: "Adolatsizlik. Hammasi shundoq — hech qachon o'zgarmaydi." Bu yerda so'zlar qahramonniki, ammo tirnoqsiz, hikoyachi ovozida oqadi. Bu texnika (Austen kashf etgan, Joyce va Woolf yuksaltirgan) o'quvchini qahramon ongiga tirnoqsiz, uzluksiz olib kiradi — chuqur yaqinlik + hikoyachi erkinligi bir vaqtda. C2 = ong va hikoya ovozini bir tekis qorishtira olish.
• "Aysberg tamoyili" (Hemingway) — aytilmagan kuchi: yozilgan matn — aysbergning suv ustidagi qismi; asosiy og'irlik pastda, aytilmay qoladi. Yozuvchi ataylab tashlab ketgan (lekin biladigan) narsa matnga zichlik va tagma'no beradi. Ikkinchi tegilmagan piyola — butun yo'qotishni aytmay ko'taradi (8-bo'lim). Ortiqchani emas, kerakli minimumni yozing; o'quvchi bo'shliqni o'zi to'ldirsin — ishtirok his qildiradi. Restraint (§4) va subtext shu tamoyilning ikki yuzi.

5. Ko'p misollar — tell show (qayta ishlash)

EMOTION:
  TELL: "He was terrified."
  SHOW: "He pressed his back to the wall. His own heartbeat filled his ears."
CHARACTER:
  TELL: "She was meticulous."
  SHOW: "She aligned the pens parallel to the desk edge, then nudged the middle one a millimetre."
SETTING/MOOD:
  TELL: "The house was creepy."
  SHOW: "Dust sheets draped the furniture like shrouds. Somewhere upstairs, a door breathed open."
ACTION (kuchli fe'l):
  TELL: "He moved quickly and angrily across the room."
  SHOW: "He stormed across the room, chair toppling in his wake."
DIALOGUE (subtext):
  FLAT: "I am upset that you forgot." 
  SUBTEXT: "No, it's fine. Really. I didn't expect you to remember." (= juda xafa)

6. Holat/case yechimlari

1. "She was very sad." — show it.

• e.g. "She read his message twice, set the phone face-down, and stared at the wall until the room went dark." (action + detail, no "sad").

2. "He walked tiredly and slowly down the very long and boring road." — fix the style.

• "He trudged down the endless road." (strong verb trudged; cut adverbs/weak adjectives — C2-7).

3. A character is "brave." How to reveal it without saying so?

• Through action: have them do something brave (step toward danger when others flee). Character is shown, not labelled.

4. Which point of view is most intimate, and which most flexible?

• Most intimate: first person (I). Most flexible/wide: third-person omniscient.

5. "A tear rolled down her cheek as her heart pounded." — issue?

• Cliché (both phrases over-used) — drained of force. Replace with fresh, specific detail: "She blinked hard and looked away, jaw tight."

6. When should you "tell" rather than "show"?

• For transitions, background, minor info, pacing ("Years passed."). Reserve "show" for the important moments. Showing everything = bloated/slow.

7. Kengaytirilgan banki (ijodiy yozuv atamalari va vositalar)

Ijodiy yozuv iboralari (texnika):

• paint a picture / set the scene — manzara chizmoq
• bring it to life — jonlantirmoq
• less is more — kamroq = ko'proq (restraint)
• kill your darlings — eng yoqqan ortiqchani kesing (revise — C2-7)

Native siri (C2): the whole craft compresses into one habit: make it concrete. Whenever you write something abstract — sad, nice, scary, kind, tired — stop and ask: "What would I see, hear, or do that shows this?" Then write that instead. "He was nervous" what does nervous look like? "He kept checking his phone, though no one had texted." This single move — replacing the abstract label with the concrete, sensory, specific detail — is the engine of all vivid writing, and it transfers everywhere: interviews (tell the story, not the claim), cover letters (the specific achievement, not "hardworking"), presentations (the anecdote, not the abstraction). Then, in revision, do two passes: cut (every needless adjective, adverb, and cliché — C2-7) and sharpen (every vague word into a precise one — C2-1). Read it aloud for rhythm. Creative writing is where you stop using English and start playing it — the deepest, most joyful immersion, and the truest sign that the language has become your own.

8. O'qish — graded matn (C2 — ijodiy yozuv; "show" bilan namoyish)

Two ways to tell a morning (bir lahza, ikki usul)

TELL (mavhum): It was an ordinary, slightly sad morning. The old man was lonely and his routine was the same as always. He missed his wife.

SHOW (konkret): The kettle clicked off, and he poured for two before he caught himself. The second cup sat steaming on the far side of the table, where no one would drink it. He did not pour it away. He never did.

Outside, the same blackbird worked the same patch of frosted lawn. He watched it through the window, both hands around his mug, and let the heat seep into his knuckles. On the sill, her reading glasses still lay folded beside a paperback, the bookmark a third of the way through. Eleven months now, and he had not moved them.

When the tea went cold — both cups — he rose, rinsed his own, and left hers exactly where it was.

---

Tahlil: Show versiyasi "lonely," "sad," "missed his wife" so'zlarini ishlatmaydi — lekin o'quvchi hammasini his qiladi: ikkinchi piyola (telling detail), tegilmagan ko'zoynak va kitob (subtext), "eleven months" (aniqlik), "he never did" (odat yo'qotish). Konkret detal mavhum so'zdan kuchliroq ta'sir qiladi. Kuchli fe'llar (clicked, seep, worked), sezgi (issiqlik, ayoz), pacing (sekin sahna). Bu — "show, don't tell"ning butun kuchi.

Topshiriq: Qaysi konkret detallar "yolg'izlik" va "yo'qotish"ni aytmasdan ko'rsatadi? "He never did" / "exactly where it was" nega ta'sirli? Show versiyasi qanday kuchli fe'l va sezgi detalini ishlatadi? O'zingiz bir mavhum jumlani ("She was excited") sahnaga aylantiring.

9. Tipik xatolar (C2 — ijodiy yozuv)

Asosiy tuzoq: (1) SHOW muhim lahzalarda (mavhum xulosa emas); (2) kuchli fe'l/ot (sifat/ravish yig'indisi emas); (3) clichéni qoching (yangi); (4) purple prosedan saqlaning (restraint); (5) character harakat orqali; (6) dialog distilled+subtext; (7) pacing (show muhimni, tell qolganni).

10. Chuqur tahlil — qo'shimcha faktlar va nozikliklar

C2 — native daraja; 4 ko'nikma blokining boshlanishi.

(a) "Show, don't tell" — the foundational craft principle. Attributed to Chekhov ("Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass"), this is the central doctrine of modern creative writing. Showing (sensory detail, action, dialogue) creates experience; telling (abstract summary) creates distance. The reader who infers "she's heartbroken" from the untouched second cup feels it; the reader told "she was heartbroken" merely notes it. The principle transfers to all vivid communication. C2 = wielding it (and knowing when to tell).

(b) Specificity and the "telling detail." Concrete, specific detail is the engine of vivid prose — and the selective detail (the one particular that implies the whole) is most powerful. Not every detail, but the right one: the chipped mug, the bookmark a third through, the parallel pens. This is the writer's eye — choosing the detail that means. Cognitively, specifics create mental images (the brain simulates the concrete), which is why they engage and stick. The skill: see precisely, select ruthlessly.

(c) Verbs, nouns, and the war on modifiers. Strong prose rests on verbs and nouns, not adjectives and adverbs. "Walked slowly and wearily" < "trudged"; "a very big, scary dog" < "a mastiff, growling." Adverbs especially are a "tell" crutch ("said angrily" < "snapped"). The discipline of choosing one strong verb over a verb-plus-adverb, one precise noun over a noun-plus-adjectives, is what separates muscular prose from flabby (C2-7). Mark Twain: "If you catch an adjective, kill it."

(d) Point of view — the deepest craft choice. POV determines what the reader can know and feel. First person (intimate, limited, unreliable-capable); third limited (one consciousness, balancing intimacy and scope); third omniscient (god's-eye, flexible, now less fashionable); second person (rare, immersive/experimental). Each profoundly shapes the experience — the same events differ utterly by POV. Choosing and consistently maintaining POV (avoiding "head-hopping") is a core narrative skill. C2 = controlling perspective deliberately.

(e) Voice — the writer's signature. Voice is the distinctive personality of prose — the cumulative effect of diction, rhythm, syntax, and sensibility that makes writing recognisably someone's. It's the hardest thing to teach and the most prized; it emerges, not from imitation, but from authentic, developed expression. For the advanced learner, finding a voice in English is the ultimate milestone: writing not just correct English, but your English — the language fully owned, fully personal. (And practically, voice is what makes any writing — even a cover letter — memorable.)

(f) Scene, summary, and pacing. Narrative breathes by alternating scene (moment-by-moment, "real-time," shown — for important events) and summary (compressed, told — for transitions and time-skips). Pacing is controlling this rhythm: slow down (scene, detail) for what matters; speed up (summary) for what doesn't. Beginners often write all-summary (flat, distant) or all-scene (bloated, slow). Mastery is modulating — the heartbeat of storytelling. C2 = controlling narrative time.

(g) Character through action — the indirect method. Characters come alive not through the narrator's description ("she was kind") but through what they do, say, choose, and notice — revealed indirectly, letting the reader infer. A rounded character has depth, contradiction, desire, and flaw; a flat one is one-note (fine for minor roles). Desire + obstacle + flaw = a living character in motion. This indirect, inferential method (a form of "show, don't tell" for people) is how fiction creates the illusion of real persons. C2 = building character by implication.

(h) Dialogue — distilled, characterising, subtextual. Good dialogue sounds natural but is compressed — stripped of real speech's filler, every line working (revealing character, advancing conflict, carrying subtext: the meaning beneath the words — "I'm fine" meaning the opposite). It also characterises (each voice distinct) and avoids exposition-dumps. Punctuation/tag conventions matter ("said" usually best — invisible). Dialogue is among the hardest skills: it must seem real while being entirely engineered. C2 = crafting speech that lives.

(i) Imagery, figurative language, and restraint. Creative writing leans on imagery (sensory language) and figures (metaphor, simile, symbolism — C2-10) to evoke and resonate. But the governing virtue is restraint: fresh, apt, sparing figures (one perfect simile beats five strained ones); concrete imagery over abstraction; cutting cliché and purple excess. The modern aesthetic (post-Hemingway) prizes clean, concrete, understated prose over Victorian ornament — trust the detail, cut the adornment. C2 = vividness through precision, not decoration.

(j) Creative writing as the summit of ownership — and its transfer. Creative writing is where a learner stops using English and starts playing it — the deepest, most personal immersion, integrating everything: vocabulary (C2-1), style (C2-7), metaphor (C2-10), rhythm, and voice. It is the fullest sign of having made the language one's own. And though it seems impractical, its core skills transfer powerfully: show-don't-tell and concrete specificity are exactly what make interviews, personal statements, presentations, and persuasive writing land (the vivid story beats the abstract claim every time). To learn to write a scene is to learn to make any communication vivid and human. The next lessons — academic and professional writing — apply the discipline of clarity; this one supplies the gift of life.

Native daraja: creative writing is the fullest expressive command of English — the art of making a reader see, feel, and live a scene. Its master principle is show, don't tell: dramatise through concrete, sensory, specific detail rather than abstract summary, reserving "telling" for transitions and pacing. Build on strong verbs and precise nouns (not piled modifiers), reveal character through action, distil dialogue to carry subtext, control point of view and pacing, and cut all cliché and purple excess — vividness through precision, not decoration. Above all, find your voice: the point where you stop using English and start playing it, the truest mark of ownership. And know that the core skill — make it concrete — transfers to everything: the vivid story wins the interview, the specific detail wins the essay. This opens the four-skills block; the lessons that follow turn craft toward clarity (academic, professional) and the spoken and receptive arts.

11. Mashqlar

A. Turn "tell" into "show":

1. "She was furious." · 2. "The old house was neglected." · 3. "He was exhausted after work." · 4. "The market was crowded and lively."

B. Strengthen the verb / cut the modifiers:

1. "He walked quickly and nervously into the room." · 2. "She spoke in a very quiet and frightened voice." · 3. "The car moved fast down the road."

C. Reveal character through action (not description):

1. Show that a character is greedy (without saying it). · 2. Show that a character is nervous. · 3. Show that a character is kind.

D. Fix the cliché:

1. "Her heart pounded with fear." · 2. "A single tear rolled down his cheek." · 3. "The silence was deafening."

E. Write dialogue with subtext: Two people are breaking up, but neither says so directly. Write 4-6 lines.

F. Flash scene: Write a short paragraph (5-7 sentences) showing a single emotional moment (a goodbye, a victory, a fear) — using sensory detail, a strong verb or two, and NO abstract emotion words (no "sad/happy/scared").

12. Amaliy topshiriq (Wisar AI bilan) — ijodiy yozuv

Maqsad: to write vividly — "show, don't tell," concrete sensory detail, strong verbs, voice, and subtext — the fullest expressive command (and the skill behind vivid interviews/statements).

Vazifa (tanlang):

• (A) Show, don't tell: I give you "tell" sentences (or a flat paragraph); you rewrite as a vivid scene — sensory detail, strong verbs, no abstract emotion words — and explain your choices.
• (B) Write a scene: I give a prompt (a moment, a character, a setting); you write a short creative piece, deploying POV, imagery, pacing, and voice.
• (C) Craft dialogue: I give a situation; you write dialogue with subtext (characters not saying what they mean).

Show:

1. Show-don't-tell (concrete over abstract)
2. Strong verbs/nouns (not piled modifiers)
3. Sensory & specific detail (the telling detail)
4. Voice & POV (consistent, distinctive)
5. Restraint (no cliché, no purple prose)

Example (A, "He was nervous before the interview."): you "He read the questions one more time, though he'd memorised them. His thumb worried the corner of the page until it softened and tore." (action + detail; "nervous" never stated.)

"Tayyor" mezonlari: (1) shows, not tells; (2) strong verbs/nouns; (3) specific sensory detail; (4) consistent voice/POV; (5) no cliché/purple prose.
