Show, don't tell!

Is an admonition to fiction writers to write in a manner that allows the reader to experience the story through a character's action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the narrator's exposition, summarization, and description.

Writing in this way is very important, as it allows your reader to develop images of where the story takes place, what the character looks like, and many other aspects of your story. Showing the reader is unique to every writer. As you tell your story, you show it to your reader in your own unique writing style.

That's a clear indication that your writing is different and that you can totally pull off the showing aspect of the story as you tell it.

Today show your reader in your storytelling and let them journey with you as they read your story.
