Tips For "Show, Don't Tell."

Honestly, show don't tell is something I feel even I struggle with and I'm pretty sure anyone who writes faces it. Finding a balance is hard. When to show and when to tell can become an inherent feeling though. However, there are some things I've learnt and I hope they help you!

❥︎Emphasise Sensory Detailing: Not only does packing a scene with sensory details help readers imagine the setting, it also gives your characters a distinct physical world to interact with. Rather than simply saying that a character is in New York, describe the light reflecting off the Hudson River, or the towering colossus of the Statue of Liberty.

❥︎Describe body language and avoid emotional explanation when showing.

❥︎Like I said, focus on describing senses and lean more on the usage of imagery too, it'll help if you understand that literary device. I have a post on how to use imagery in writing which helps a lot when showing and not telling. Pick adjectives that you use to describe and replace them with sensory descriptions. Eg:

+ He was scared when he saw the lion at the exit.

+ His heart raced when he saw the lion looming at the end of his escape route.

See what I did here?

Did you feel the difference?

❥︎ learn from examples of 'Show, Don't tell' by reading. The most basic.

❥︎ Use of Dialogue: can also teach readers about characters through word choice, tone, and POV. For instance:

The tray flipped and drenched her in wine. She shrieked and jumped out of her seat, glaring at the waiter.

And

The tray flipped and drenched her in wine but all she did was sigh and smile in understanding.

The scene is the same but the character's approach was different in each case. The former seems kind while the latter seems to be a temperamental character.

❥︎Make your character do something out of ordinary, something that breaks the routine or would make a heavier impact. For eg:

If a character speaks in long-winded, erudite sentences, readers might gather that they are pompous and well-educated. If this same character suddenly begins speaking in terse, short bursts later in the novel, readers might note that something in that character has shifted.

If they're described as someone who never cooks say and then at some time they cook for the live interest, it'll pique the reader’s Interest because it was uncharacteristic of them to do.

❥︎Having a diverse vocabulary, imagination and the ability to use literary devices like metaphors will greatly aid in Show don't tell.

❥︎And lastly, It's fine if you don't get it right the first time because that's how writing works. The more you read, attempt and err, the more you learn. But having an idea of what to do will go a great way in guiding and saving time.

Hope it helps! Follow for more, like and share! <3

The lovers 🦢

Children of the Voice Divine, Zain, Sword

Motivation and impulse girlie. We suffer now so we can thrive later. On the card is the myth of andromeda. You have to work on yourself and fight long battles on the never ending road and theres also no telling where the road may lead. Ultimately finding a balance is hard but you make a way for self love and care.

Lord of the Forces of Life, Caph, Palm

Its hard to take time to think about balance when life is handing you a deck full of duces. But honestly going through it means you need to double down on the selfcare and balance. Its okay to take a break especially if things are not going your way.

The high priestess 🃏

The Priestess of the Silver Star, Gimel, Camel

Honestly balance and the idea of what to do comes easy for you. You just have to implement it you already have the wisdom and they knowledge of what to do to suit your needs. You just need to act upon it. However, such as life things change all the time so be aware of the steps you take to cope with it.

Motifs and Their Uses

It's not necessary that you know what a motif is or how to use it.

Motif is one of the most useful literary devices when writing a novel or short story. At the same time, the definition of motif can be difficult to pin down.

Motif is a literary technique that consists of a repeated element that has symbolic significance to a literary work. Sometimes, a motif is a recurring image. Other times, it’s a repeated word, phrase, or topic expressed in language. A motif can be a recurring situation or action. It can be a sound or smell, a temperature, even a color.

If you spot a symbol, concept, or plot structure that surfaces repeatedly in the text, you're probably dealing with a motif. They must be related to the central idea of the work, and they always end up reinforcing the author's overall message.

EXAMPLES:

A repeated reference or visual of shattered glass (something in life is about to break)

Recurring dishonest characters (to cue up the discovery of an unfaithful spouse)

The key aspect is that a motif repeats, and through this repetition helps to illuminate the dominant ideas, central themes, and deeper meaning of a story.

Authors utilize motifs for multiple purposes. Motifs can:

1. Evoke a mood

2. Illuminate main themes

3. Engage the audience on an intuitive level

4. Create unique symbolic meanings through repetition

5. Establish a pattern of ideas
