I once attended an excellent weekend course run by
Cornerstones Literary Consultancy. Each day was split into sessions based on
plot, character, settings etc. and all was well until we reached the session on
‘Show Not Tell’ Blank looks all round. Explanations were given. Examples were
given. But blank looks persisted. In the end, the tutor had to say, ‘One day
you’ll all shout ‘eureka’ and the light bulb will click on.’
