RE: Improve your Writing (Showing vs. Telling)
this is one maxim in writing that i really love, particularly for your distinction that "telling is just giving someone information to remember" and conveys really very little on an emotional level to the reader. it's when you start adding those phrases that connect people to the moment more fully that the writing gets really good.
Good writers like Victor Hugo master this. They leave you with such a vivid memory of the story in the book one almost is tricked into believing it to be real-life
Yes very true
