Show Don’t Tell
• TELL: She was scared.
• SHOW: Sweat dripped down her brow as her heart raced.
• TELL: They drove there. They talked in the car. They got there and
get out of the car.
• SHOW: Jessie tried to focus on the road, but she was distracted by
the funny stories Amy told. Amy was always the funny sister.
Before they knew it, they were turning into the parking lot of their
destination. Unbuckling themselves and opening the doors, they
prepared themselves for what came next.
• *Before you finalize your story, go back and find 2-3 moments that
you can SHOW me instead of TELLING me. Add
descriptions/images, make it so that the reader is seeing through
the character’s eyes, not just hearing a summary of what
happened.
