“Show, Don’t Tell” ✍️📖
Many writers would have heard this advice.
"Show, Don't Tell."
But when actually writing...
May secretly suspect that
So what's the difference?
📝 Tell
Mew feels very uncomfortable near dazzling.
🖋️ Show
Mew moved the box a little more, the edges of the box cradled her arms until it felt itchy, the sweat permeated the palms of her hands making the floor of the paper crate slippery slightly, while the other stood flawlessly gracefully in a confined space, she felt as if her body was compressed to a smaller size.
Both sentences communicate the same story.
But the latter way
Make the reader "feel" instead of "perceive."
That's the heart of the Show, Don't Tell.
✨, but the show isn't just emotional.
Sometimes it can hide clues.
Let's take this example.
"One film car parked unnaturally long, two motorcycles left an orderly distance as if waiting for a secret order."
At the first reading,
Many people might think it's just a scene detail.
But in Thriller fiction,
This little detail might be telling the reader something.
The writers didn't honestly say
"Mew is being watched."
But let the reader observe himself.
🎬 Show also applies to action scenes.
Tell
Terin is a very dangerous person.
Show
The clicks of the hydraulic system rang gently in silence, his eyes looked straight at Pran, and he was smiling.
"I found myself... my bonus."
Readers don't have to be told he's scary.
Because the atmosphere acts instead
Another example.
Tell
Chand loves Pran very much.
Show
She didn't fight, but she used all the force to push the pra and case bag into the dump shaft.
Then she turned around.
Then he hugged the mechanical arm of the pin
To buy even a second.
There is no word for love.
But the reader is more clearly aware than many love words
🌷 So Show, Don't Tell
Doesn't mean
"Banning Dell."
But it is the selection of moments that should give the reader a "touch" on their own.
Because sometimes
The reader will believe what he finds himself.
More than what the writers honestly say.
What about you?
What scenes in the novel have been read?
Feel love, fear or sadness.
Didn't the author come out directly?
