Friday’s Findings: What Not to Tell

“Good writers may ‘tell’ about almost anything in fiction except the characters’ feelings . . . Fear, love, excitement, doubt, embarrassment, despair become real only when they take the form of events—action (or gesture), dialogue or physical reaction to setting. Detail is the lifeblood of fiction.” -John Gardner
