“Show, don't tell," might be the single most common piece of advice authors of fiction both give and receive. But as storytellers, how do we tell a story without “telling" it? This is one of those places where craft (how to do it) gives way to art (how to do it well). What separates good authors from bad is that good authors bring us into the story, keep us there for as long as they wish, then return us to our own world feeling (not knowing,and there is a difference) as if we've actually travelled to some remote place and become some other person.

The art of writing fiction is something every author will spend a lifetime developing. Philip Athans begins this tutorial by defining the terms,what it means to show rather than tell, the all-important concept of emotional distance, and presenting characters as emotional beings. Then he shows by example, taking a look at how some exceptional novelists broke through “storytelling" and brought us into a deeper, more fulfilling experience.

Though we may be primarily visual creatures, appealing to all five senses can help bring your writing alive by keeping it deeply rooted in the visceral experience of your point-of-view character. Philip looks at more of the ways in which people experience the world around them, and how to infuse your characters with the complete human experience. It's not enough to tell us what things look like, even the expressions on their faces. Show us what it's like to be in that moment, including the sounds, the smells, and feel of it.

In this 59-minute tutorial, we'll discuss:

  • Emotional distance
  • Show vs. tell
  • Describing the experience
  • Appealing to the five senses
  • Characters as primarily emotional beings
  • How and why we use our other senses

Every story is about people, and people experience the world around them with lots more than their intellect.

Sent Wrong Pieces
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I really, really wanted to like this - and, in theory, I really, really should have! The instructions were easy to follow and assembly took about five minutes. The assembled screen is lightweight and easy to move. It was a great size and exactly what I was looking for except....I wasn't sent the correct pieces. Instead of receiving 4 elbow pieces and 4 feet, I received 2 elbow pieces and 8 feet - meaning that the bottom part of the fabric just hangs there and, overall, the divider is extremely unstable because there is no horizontal support on the bottom. Thankfully, there are Velcro tabs on the side of the fabric so I can use it if I don't plan to move it even 1 cm, but otherwise, what I received is not usable for what I needed it for. Additionally, the fabric is made of polyester and catches animal hair very easily. Had I received the correct pieces, this would be a good buy for the money. Unfortunately, overall, I'm disappointed.

Works great, keeps the light out of my eyes and easy to put together
Size: 1 Panel, Size: 1 Panel
I got this room divider in and it works great. It’s really easy to put together you don’t even need tools. I really like that it’s not see through, it’s not a black out curtain but it keeps light out pretty good. I absolutely hate my bedroom layout there’s no bathroom door. My girlfriend and I have different work schedules so I’m trying to sleep while she’s getting ready for work and the light shines right in my eyes. This divider keeps the light out of my eyes and that’s exactly what I was hunting for. I also like that you can adjust the length. I took one of the bars out to make it a little shorter and it worked great. I would recommend this room divider.

Pretty good, especially for this price point.
Color: Beige, Size: 21.5"- 1 Panel
This is merely a piece of cloth stretched between the frame borders, but it works perfectly. It arrived quickly, all parts present and in good condition. I didn't put the castors on, as it will be more or less always in one position. I simply attached some felt sliders on the bottom to prevent scratching the floor and to allow clearance for the center screw (which is not flush fit). Overall, a reasonable deal for the price point.
