"Show, don't tell" is an unfortunately restrictive mantra. Of course there are elements in your story that you'll want to show your reader - but there will also be many moments where telling is more appropriate. Here I discuss how to determine which moment is which.

Creative Writing Corner is all about helping YOU become a better word-slinger and storyteller. CWC host Luke J. Morris is a published author and full-time English and Creative Writing teacher with a Master's degree in Creative Writing, and on this channel he shares what he's learned over 30+ years of writing and study. Enjoy and engage!

If you'd like to support the channel (and judge if the host walks his talk), you can pick up a copy of Luke's short story collection 'Bad Art' here:
