| Topic | "Show, don't tell" is amateur advice. |
| Soviet_Poland 04/13/17 8:34:45 PM #2: | Well, yeah. It's amateur advice because generally an amateur needs to master the fundamentals first. Have you ever read someone's work where the exposition was just too direct? It's really, really bad. A master author has the experience to know when telling might be indicated over showing, and that's why they can break conventions. An amateur can't. That's why it's amateur advice. It's for amateurs. --- "He has two neurons held together by a spirochete." ... Copied to Clipboard! |
