Abstract
“Show, don’t tell” is common advice for writers of fiction. This advice is meant to encourage authors to illustrate rather than to directly state information about environments and feelings. For instance, instead of writing “she was angry,” they would write “she left the room with steady steps and slammed the door behind her,” which illustrates anger.
When supervising students, I use this advice and the analogy to fiction writing, albeit in an altered version: “show and tell.”
