      I’ve always heard show is the way to go but it seems not always!

        I’ve actually read a book where the author tried to show every little thing. Frankly, it was…boring because the story got lost in the minutea. :(

          I know they tell us to show, show, show but sometimes telling gets the job done when needed.

            Absolutely. Horses for courses, as they say. :)
