Show Don't Tell: What You Need to Know
Do you know this cardinal rule of writing?
It’s easy to tell readers what’s happening.
But telling doesn’t evoke emotion or involves readers in the story experience.
Writing “It was cold” simply informs.
Writing “Bill raised his collar, turned his face away from the biting wind, and thrust his hands deep into his pockets” engages the readers’ senses and allows them to deduce the weather.
That’s why “Show, Don’t Tell” has become one of the cardinal rules of writing.

How effective dialogue aids in showing
How to resist the urge to explain
Examples of how to do this right
