We’ve all heard the adage: Show, don’t Tell. But what if we’ve been neglecting Telling all along, and it shows up repeatedly in our work. Should we be frustrated? Eliminate any traces of it in the narrative? What if telling serves a purpose in the development of your creation? When should showing show itself? And when should telling spell and tell, itself?
This is an interactive online class using the Zoom web platform.
