episode 23: Writing Excuses 10.23: Can You Tell Me How To Show?


Per the syllabus for the Season 10 Master Class, June is for painting a scene, and in this episode we're going to talk about that paint.

We have all heard the "show, don't tell" rule. In this episode we'll discuss showing—how to do it well, how to do it consistently, and how to use it to accomplish things that telling just can't get across.

Liner Notes: We make several references to Episode 3.14, in which Mary (in her first guest-hosting on the show) told us about the four rules of puppetry, as they apply to her writing. That was almost six years ago, so it's probably been a while since you listened to it. Our Sponsors: * Check out rosettastone.com/today to get 50% off Rosetta Stone's lifetime membership!
