What it means

Instead of simply stating facts or feelings, use vivid details, actions, and dialogue to let readers experience what's happening. This means painting a picture with words rather than just announcing information.

Why it matters

Showing makes your writing come alive and helps readers feel like they're right there with your characters. It creates a movie in the reader's mind instead of just giving them a boring list of facts.

Example

āœ•

āŒ Sarah was really angry at her brother. āœ“ Sarah's face turned red as she clenched her fists. 'That's MY chocolate!' she shouted, stomping her foot so hard the floorboards creaked.
