THERe are times when telling is just right rather showing. Just because you are advise to show rather than don't mean you do it all the time. 1 Like |

Yeah. There times when you reach a part in your novel that requires a fast pace and showing rather than telling holds the story back and makes it cumbersome. Sometimes, saying, for instance, He plunge the knife into his chest. Might read better than describing the process of him raising the knife and stabbing it. |
