Fiction Writers Mistake #3: Telling, Not Showing

A “telling statement” is a statement that gives you an overview – “he was angry” – it’s an overview that lets us draw in our own conclusions.

But if you say “He was angry. His face turned red. His fist came up, ready to fight” – that’s “showing”, giving us a specific view.

Which is better?

In this episode, Lana McAra details the distinction between telling and showing and how these can make your fiction writing either more or less powerful, and impact the rate and speed you’re able to pace your reader through.

Mastering the balance between telling vs. showing brings to the fore the elements of the characters and the story that make your fiction writing #Unputdownable.
