(Thanks to Flo Stanton for tonight's topic)
Show, don't tell...
You've heard it a million times, but what does it really mean? And why do we have to do it? Would somebody SHOW me how to TELL the difference?
Carrie Vaughn takes a stab at it in her post "'Show Don't Tell' in Practice". Not only does she explain, she gives an example.
Join us tonight to discuss "show, don't tell" for the first hour. We'll take any other questions you may have in the second hour. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
