How to Practice 'Show Don't Tell' When Writing Fiction
You've heard about "showing versus telling" in fiction writing, but how do you actually go about it? How do you "show don't tell" when writing a short story or a novel? This video explains how to practice showing versus telling, while offering some actual examples. It's part of my "On the Page" video series, where we practice the craft of storytelling together. Timestamps for this video ----------------------------------------- 0:00 Introduction 0:32 Showing vs. telling explained 1:18 How to show character emotion 5:30 How to show scene or setting Here's the key takeaway: When you provide specific sensory details in your writing, you "paint the scene" in the reader's mind. You pull the reader into the story, which makes for a more engaging reading experience. That's what showing versus telling is all about. ----------------------------- About the Author ----------------------------- I'm an independent novelist specializing in science fiction, horror and thrillers.
