Heather Davis

Hey, Storyteller! Send me a text message! I'd really love to hear what you think of the podcast! :-)

If you're a writer, you've likely encountered the timeless advice: "Show Don't Tell." While intended to enhance scene creation by encouraging vivid depiction over mere narration, this guidance has been misunderstood, leading to detrimental effects on otherwise strong novels.

 

If you've questioned the validity of this advice, stay tuned as I debunk misconceptions and provide practical strategies to reignite the potency and depth of your scenes.

 

 In this episode you’ll learn:

  1. Showing vs. telling on the page
  2. Why balancing both creates stronger, more meaningful storytelling
  3. Mastering the art of crafting scenes that skillfully blend showing and telling.
