What “Show Don’t Tell” Really Means


Listen Later

Are you tired of hearing the "show, don't tell" advice thrown around with reckless abandon? 

Me too. Showing and telling both have their place in fiction, but it's important not to fall into the extreme of showing everything... just like we shouldn't be telling everything. 

Showing and telling need to be "perfectly balanced, as all things should be," to quote Thanos.

Listen in to understand what this advice really means, and how to know what parts of your story need one versus the other.
