Show, don’t tell

"Show, don’t tell" means letting readers experience a story through actions, senses, and dialogue instead of outright explaining things. Here are some practical tips to achieve that:

1. Use Sensory Details

Tell: "The room was cold."

Show: "Her breath puffed in faint clouds, and she shivered as frost clung to the edges of the window."

Tell: "He was scared."

Show: "His hands trembled, and his heart thudded so loudly he was sure they could hear it too."

2. Focus on Actions

Tell: "She was angry."

Show: "She slammed the mug onto the counter, coffee sloshing over the rim as her jaw clenched."

Tell: "He was exhausted."

Show: "He stumbled through the door, collapsing onto the couch without even bothering to remove his shoes."

3. Use Dialogue

What characters say and how they say it can reveal their emotions, intentions, or traits.

Tell: "She was worried about the storm."

Show: "Do you think it'll reach us?" she asked, her voice tight, her fingers twisting the hem of her shirt.

4. Show Internal Conflict Through Thoughts or Reactions

Tell: "He was jealous of his friend."

Show: "As his friend held up the trophy, he forced a smile, swallowing the bitter lump rising in his throat."

5. Describe the Environment to Reflect Mood

Use the setting to mirror or hint at emotions or themes.

Tell: "The town was eerie."

Show: "Empty streets stretched into the mist, and the only sound was the faint creak of a weathered sign swinging in the wind."

6. Let Readers Infer Through Context

Give enough clues for the reader to piece things together without spelling it out.

Tell: "The man was a thief."

Show: "He moved through the crowd, fingers brushing pockets, his hand darting away with a glint of gold."

7. Use Subtext in Interactions

What’s left unsaid can reveal as much as what’s spoken.

Tell: "They were uncomfortable around each other."

Show: "He avoided her eyes, pretending to study the painting on the wall. She smoothed her dress for the third time, her fingers fumbling with the hem."

8. Compare to Relatable Experiences

Use metaphors, similes, or comparisons to make an emotion or situation vivid.

Tell: "The mountain was huge."

Show: "The mountain loomed above them, its peak disappearing into the clouds, as if it pierced the heavens."

Practice Example:

Tell: "The village had been destroyed by the fire."

Show: "Charred beams jutted from the rubble like broken ribs, the acrid smell of ash lingering in the air. A child's shoe lay half-buried in the soot, its leather curled from the heat."

Gaius: So I have a riddle for you. There are two islands connected by a bridge capable of holding only one hundred pounds. On one island, there is a gatekeeper who only lets you cross the bridge one time, and on the other island, there is a princess and an apple tree.

Merlin: Can I be both the apple tree and the princess?

Gaius: No. Shush. The princess weighs ninety-nine pounds, and each apple weighs half a pound. But she needs to get three apples across. How does she do this without collapsing the bridge?

Gwaine: WEAK-ASS BRIDGE! Who the FUCK was in charge of construction?

Gaius: No--

Arthur: You THROW one apple across, and you carry the other two just fine!

Gwaine: YEET THE FRUIT!

Percival: Or you roll it! Like a bowling ball!

Merlin: The gatekeeper is the singular pin, and if you don't knock him down, you lose crossing privileges.

Gaius: That's not--

Elyan: What time period is this in? Do dragons still exist? She can just tie an apple to a dragon and fly it over.

Gaius: She JUGGLES them! She juggles the apples! One apple is always in the air as she crosses! THAT is the answer! Holy shit.

Merlin:

Merlin: Dude

Gaius: What?

Merlin: Boat.

Arthur: Boat!

Elyan: Boat???

Percival: Boat!

Gwaine: BOAT!!!!

Gaius:

Gaius: I'm leaving.
