  • This was most helpful. Foolishly I'd gotten hooked writing sports blogs and thought it'd help my creative writing. I came to the same conclusion about reconstruction information into showing prose, but what you said helped cement it a little more. Thank you.

    Matt..

  • Brilliant! I've been struggling with the Show Don't Tell thing, but this explains it better; I got the concept, but the example really helped.

    You might need a spellchecker/grammar corrector on your Document Writer, though :)

  • What a great teaching clip! School teachers could show this in class.

  • Bill, this is fantastic. Keep it up. Do more!
