What it means

This issue happens when you tell the reader what's happening instead of showing it through details and actions.

Why it matters

Showing instead of telling makes your writing more interesting and helps the reader feel like they're part of the story.

Example

Incorrect ❌: 'She was scared.' Correct ✓: 'Her hands trembled and her heart raced as she crept through the dark hallway.'

As I crossed the finish line, I realized that winning the race wasn't just about being fast - it was about never giving up, even when things got tough.
