Show,don’t tell; is a writers chant. It’s hard to grasp sometimes and I found this post by Andrew Reynolds that I wanted to share that breaks it down better than most that I’ve seen.
He also said that, when giving a critique, he doesn’t just tell the person that they need to show not tell, but he shows them how to do it with an example. That’s the ultimate show don’t tell.

Of course this makes me feel like I should show you something so here is some hand lettering I’ve been working on: Mokie grafitti
Showing with an example is definitely useful! Fun Mokie lettering! Did you post to Doodle Day? I’ve not been over there yet today.
