Boosma47 asked Rob Queen:

How would you describe difference between telling and showing?

Rob Queen It's one thing to state a fact, it's another entirely to experience that fact. Then think of an example of it.
For example:
"The new drummer meshed." - Telling.
"Pete smiled. Cotter was banging his head as hard as the drums, his arms flailing like there were six more than his two. It pulled from Pete soundscapes from his own keys that weren't planned, nor that would've worked with another drummer."
