We have all heard the advice to "show, don't tell," but too much showing can lead to what James Wood calls the "cult of detail" and Lisa Cron describes as the "myth of the all-you-can-eat sensory details:" details that, without meaning or value, do not move the story forward or the reader's emotions. 

Join us to examine which showing details "earn their ink" and which ones are there merely for the writer's edification. Explore how you can make the most of your "shows" while also using the efficiency of the well-chosen "tell."
