ABSTRACT
Workshop four
Demonstrates the difference between ‘telling’ about events and showing them, using examples that reveal the different impacts.
Discusses how ‘showing’ works to create the sense of an engaging life on the page, rather than just an account or record.
Lists the elements of writing scenes: dialogue, the senses, action, setting.
Explores the uses of both telling and scene, both essential elements of good writing.
Readings (Andrew Kwon) and Exercises to explore the ideas in the chapter.
