Show, Don't Tell
Show, Don't Tell: How To: Write Vivid Descriptions, Handle Backstory, Describe Your Character's Emotions | Sandra Gerth
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
"Show, don't tell is probably the single most-important piece of advice given to writers. But many writers struggle to understand this powerful principle or have difficulty applying it to their own work. Even experienced authors sometimes don't grasp the finer nuances of showing and telling. In this book, Sandra Gerth draws on her experience as an editor and best-selling author to show you how to show and tell you when to tell. Each chapter includes concrete examples and exercises that will hone your writing skills." - Back Cover

I hate telling in a story, but everyone does it. Sometimes it is necessary, but the best stories use more showing.

I wanted to improve this skill in my writing. I think I may read this next to help with my self edit of Sky Heart. Hopefully it‘ll help me cut unnecessary “telling” and improve the “showing.”
