Ashly LorenzanaI say fuck the old advice 'show, don't tell.' It's called story TELLING for a reason, and I'll stick to it!
About This Quote
When you show and tell, you're telling the reader what you want them to do. When they do what you want them to do, your story ends. Your story is complete. You can't just tell it over and over again though.
When you tell, you're just showing the reader how to do things. It's like they're learning on their own! Well, I've decided to take a stand against all those who try to use this line as a means of claiming that their stories are better than others by saying "I say fuck the old advice 'show, don't tell.'"
