Show, Don’t Tell is a very useful creative writing technique.

When a writer ‘tells’, they present information simply by stating it. Writing that ‘tells’ tends to be passive and distant, and can often feel like the writer is simply providing a summary of events, rather than actually telling a story.

Writing that ‘shows’, describes actions and makes the reader infer emotions or other information. That is, it makes the reader do some work. Writing that ‘shows’ uses descriptive language, actions and dialogue to bring the story to life. It creates a more memorable reading experience.
