I’m not an actress. I’m just an idiot with an iPad being goofy and having fun talking about writing. In my first real “M. B. Weston’s Corner” video, I discuss “Show, Don’t Tell” for writers. This week’s focus is on explaining show, don’t tell, and highlighting how writers often miss the mark:

Failing to use description and sensory details
Telling a character’s emotions instead of showing them
Making blanket statements about a usual occurrence or relationship

It’s my first time using some equipment, and I discovered after filming that the camera picked up more than what I thought. It’s also a little bit longer than what I wanted. I decided to post anyway because no one is perfect, and I’d rather be authentic than perfect.
