About this listen
It's the most common piece of writing advice, but what does "Show, Don't Tell" truly mean? This week on Lore & Love, Alexandria demystifies the age-old rule, reframing it as a powerful tool for creating deep reader immersion. Learn the difference between summarizing emotion and action versus grounding your reader in a scene they can see, hear, and feel.
Using scenes of intense action and quiet regret from her own manuscript, Storm Kin, Alexandria provides a clear, practical breakdown of how to translate abstract concepts into concrete, sensory details. Discover how a character’s internal state can be powerfully conveyed through their physical sensations, their unique perception of the world, and the small, unconscious actions that reveal everything. This episode provides an actionable guide to help you turn flat statements into living, breathing moments that will resonate with your readers long after they've closed the book.
