Writing Tips: Show Don't Tell

One of the most important writing tips to not having a bland story is showing and not telling.

A example of telling would be something like: "She fell in love the minute she saw him."

Now, a example of showing would be: "As soon as Alex laid her eyes on Michael, her heart started to beat rapidly. There was something special about him--his beautiful red eyes, his perfect smile--it made it difficult for Alex to clear her thoughts."

It makes a stark difference for sure! Showing and not telling is good for your story to add more life to it!

Sometimes, it really depends on the story, its always better to show.

Hope this helped you writers out there!
