Quintessential advice, but what does it really mean? And how do we do it? Don't you need to tell some things in order to show some things?Listen to this episode to hear why I don't really like this advice, what I want you to do instead, and how to make your writing better by understanding what Show don't Tell really means.Key Takeaways:- Telling is for sharing visual information. Showing is about letting the reader interpret what it means.- Using a phenomenon called mirroring, reader's can put themselves into the scene with just a handful of micro-cues. - Slow down the prose and give the reader multiple small pieces so they can put things together, rather than blurting it all out at once. You will have much more impact.---------For more writing advice, check out the Storytelling Seminar Bundle at courses.thewritable.com/storytelling-seminars.
