Writerly life: The show verus tell conundrum. Which format of writing ensures the reader's engagement?
I'll tell you what, storytelling thrives upon creating the magic of recreating your story, where the reader starts identifying himself or herself as a part of the story. Let us discuss the difference between showing and telling a story as a format of writing. Let me quote Anton Chekhov. I quote do not tell me the moon is shining. Show me the glint of light on the broken glass. Unquoted. When I write, my aim is to provoke a reaction from the readers
Hi. I absolutely agree with what you say. So if you really want a reader to get indulged in your story and feel involved, it's really important for any writer to do so because that is something which makes reader get connected to the story that we are writing or making them listen. And the things that you said in this well, that the things that you shared regarding the format of writing are something really useful for every writer to follow
