âDonât tell me the moon is shining. Show me the glint of light on broken glass.â â Anton Chekov Writers often have different definitions of âshowingâ and âtelling.â I define âtellingâ as any time in the story when an important moment lacks depth in terms of detail or narrative voice. However, telling can also be an excellent tool for controlling the storyâs pacing and delivering important information. In this video, Iâll explore the origins of this advice and why âshowingâ appeals to audiences on an emotional level. Using examples from popular works and advice from published authors, Iâll outline six strategies you can employ to produce stronger writing: 1. Use evidence to support your claims. 2. Replace the abstract with the concrete. 3. Substitute vague descriptions with specific sensory details. 4. Avoid relying too much on body language. 5. Show emotion through dialogue. 6. Filter observations through the narrative voice.
