Word challenge: AGRYPNIA--Is this a disease, a science, an animal, or none of these? (see end of post for definition)
As writers, we are often cautioned to show rather than tell--not always the easiest thing to do. I think Anton Chekhov gave a perfect example of the difference: "Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass."
And more about research subject Martin De Leon and his family--Martin's wife Patricia created beautiful needlework for their home and for her daughters' clothing. She once embroidered a purse in which she put $500 in gold for her church.
"Agrypnia" refers to insomnia.
