Show don’t tell! But also don’t show! 🤔

I don’t love writing advice bc I feel individual style is so important. Some ‘coaches’ would, I think, lose their minds at (for ex) Tamsyn Muir’s…

Kristyna Cole Author/Editor :
Some people can’t visualize things in their head like pictures. They probably wouldn’t see the benefit of describing expressions.

I can’t see anything in the book literally??? In that case what is the point in describing anything??

just describing feeling and thoughts can be confusing for me when I read sometimes. I'd like a visual description of what the person looks like or ...

Usually when somebody has stitches turned off, they didn’t want video replies

I tend to pick individual face movements (arched eyebrow, widening eyes, bitten lip) rather than “his face was shocked”, and I’m good with that.

this guy always presents his advice as the end all be all and it always boils down to "don't have a persona writing style"

Writing expressions creates pictures in the readers minds so they can read while watching pictures that are created in their mind. Like watching a movie and reading the subtitles

I love expressions, it makes me feel like I'm watching the characters and deciphering it myself

when I'm reading it means I'm also watching, so.

describing expression is apart of showing. I'd rather do that then say he's angry. that tik toker says the wildest "advice"

100% agree with you 👍and btw that guy has popped up on my fyp before, and the way he phrases his advice as absolute rules gives me the ick.

I had the WORST editor who told me to cut all the “show” when it came to their expressions and what not. But like, it fit and my readers like it

We can also look at how women and men process information differently. Women typically have strong visualization skills, so I can definitely see that

Guess he thinks it was stupid of Herbert to describe the subtlety in expresssions in "Dune."

definitely down to style and choice but as someone that personally rages on the inside with a face like 🫥 need to show that emotion for me 😂

Georgia C Leigh Author :
mix it up. describing expressions is one more way to immerse the reader in the story, just like describing a room or scenery.

(1)This dude gives some random questionable advice without context and it pisses me off. Such things motivate people in my opinion.

I have no issue describing a character’s expressions as I can’t ‘see’ them except through the words on the page.

Exactly! i really don't like that this guy tries to make hard and fast rules🤨 this is art, whatever helps convey the story is okay

Yeah, that guy is ignorant. He doesn’t understand the importance of painting pictures with words.

I think it all depends on your style too—some writers like to write more expressions for their works, and others don’t. It’s all up to us.💖

this guy gives advice in such an authoritative way but really everything he says is so? not concrete. you hit the nail on the head 🫶🏻

bro i cant create full images in my head, but what i do OFTEN is mimic what i read, so if its written frowned i frown simple as that

MintBlueNeon 🇪🇨 :
You can do both. And I would always prefer to have both especially becuase reading is NOT a visual medium. You want all the details.

Skye | Sewing Adventure :
This man is wrong af. For movie and tv, you don’t want to write too much facial expressions in your script bc then you’re telling your actors how to

I am someone who enjoys descriptive writing, in all forms. I enjoy stark writing as much as descriptive. Being neurodiverse, sensory detail helps imo

I like using expressions when my viewpoint character can't make out what emotions they or another character is feeling.

When Seth Brundle, say Fuck , it is so visceral and emotional the expression on his face, the emphasis, the execution, it matters..

Definitely agree there is a time and place for both options! Sometimes those emotions hit a little harder when you can describe the look on their face

Writing is not a science. There's no exact way to write. Write the way you like to because your unique style is what setting you apart from others

jayjuliejuly :
if you can't see the characters with you're mind eyes, you have to feel their emotions as your own. if your don't describe the characters emotions
