Episode notes
On this episode we discuss how to show not tell... and also promptly talk about when telling is okay. Showing is describing the emotions a character is feeling without telling the reader those emotions. We as authors need to trust our readers to understand the descriptions as we show character through their actions and choices, and we have to believe our readers are capable of perceiving the deeper motivations as the character react in-character.
We also devolve into tangents using Avatar: The Last Airbender, Arcane, and Wishbone as fantastic examples of good examples of Showing. But we do also talk about when telling is needed and we give a few tips on times when telling is preferable.
