Show Don't Tell | What do you think this advice means?
A story works based on immersion, I think. The more involved your readers are with the world you create, and the more invested they are with the growth of characters, the better. I remember watching this show a long time ago, Boston Legal, I think. James Spader, who leads the show mentions how a jury is more moved by stories and less by fact. It's important to have the jury relate with the story. That they're ordinary people, living their own stories, and not cold mathematicians who can compartmentalize and process clear information. I really connected with that analogy. Telling, when not done right, often comes across as factual and boring. I think that's why it's important to create a balance with immersion.
How do you approach showing things?
Well, I love analogies. I try to work them in to convey a message. For example, "Daiden felt the tension thicken around him, pressured like he was within the depths of an ocean." This is just something off the top of my head. It's a hit or miss sometimes, but I think I've been able to create a decent connect with the way I write. It's still a work in progress. It's the same with emotion. "He trembled with a chill, numb around his fingertips. With a gulp, he cleared the lump in his throat, but felt his chest hollow with every passing second. He could hear it then, his heart, pounding against his chest in maddened frenzy." I tend to lead like this as opposed to simply writing, "He felt fear." Again, just the top off my head.
When do you think it's better to just tell the readers information?
In breaks. I've faced this situation when reading, multiple times, in fact. What tends to happen is, I read and read, I immerse in the description, and then for no reason at all, I sometimes disconnect. I mean, I'm still reading, but I just lose connectivity. I think dialogue, or even simplicity in such situations, ensures that the reader remains involved. It's like a break for the brain.
How do you disguise exposition in your work?
I think my answer to question two answers this one as well.
