Showing Instead Of Telling Novels & Stories

I commanded. I didn't show the "Readers" a fight. I showed them the **"Backstage."** I linked the "Sensors" directly to the Architect’s clipboard. I showed the "Viewers" the "Profit-Margins" on their favorite tragedies. I showed them the "Cost-Benefit Analysis" of a hero’s death. I showed them the "Script" that said Silas and I were supposed to die in a "Bittersweet Finale" to ensure a "Sequel."

“How will this lead me to Mr Isimud?” “First you put it on, then you go wherever it takes you. It will know exactly how to find him. It is part of his story, so it will always return to him.” “Part of his story? I thought the footage was the story.” “This is only the latest incarnation, the visible part of the story if you will, like the tip of an iceberg showing above the water. The rest of the story resides with its teller and the footage will want to join it, so it will take you there.”

Standing in that stone hallway with twelve feet of distance closing between us with every sentence, I told her the parts I had pieced together and the parts I still wasn't certain of and the parts that were only true because a thirty-year-old fire had decided they would be. She listened.

“She understands.” Dmitry approached slowly. Just one step. Small enough not to seem like a threat. Slow enough to observe the impact. And he saw it: her fingers tightened harder on the notebook, her chest rose with a contained breath, and her eyes wavered for a moment before meeting his again. “Emotion, then,” he repeated. The word sounded strange in his mouth. “And how do you suggest we convey that?” “Narrative campaigns,” she answered, with a slight sparkle in her eyes. “Stories that show real people living unforgettable moments with the cars. Not just beautiful images and impactful phrases. But connections. Experiences. Truth.”

That’s the first layer. Let him see your pain. Not by telling him, but by showing him. Reach out your hand, hold the scar up to the light — no need for any extra words. The human brain will automatically fill in the rest of the story… She’s hurt, she’s in pain, she’s enduring it. Then comes the second layer. “And Zorro’s gone too,” I said, my voice even softer, as if I were embarrassed to mention it. “I used to think… Never mind, I won’t say it.”

Jacob says, sitting straight up. I consider how much to share with them. Do I tell them the complete story, my mission, my betrayal or do I tell them what is most important right now, that I need to find the Freakshow? By not telling them these things upfront, I’m not breaking their trust, as I’m simply omitting my background, yet it still feels deceptive.

he said interrupting me. He’s the boss and so I’ll do what I’ve been told. “Hi, Quim. I’m thinking if adding the name of the previous owner of our client’s last system provider would be necessary or just a detail that could be be omitted.” “Hi, Quim. Do you want a comparison of the past two providers versus us?” I can add one box in the corner of the presentation. My professor told us that it’s best to give bullet point comparison so readers will not be bored by the long narrative.”

“What if you tell it yourself? You know exactly what I mean, don’t you?” Rabiya never turned away her eyes. She never allowed Travis to escape from her sight. Instead, she moved her head in a sluggish manner to show him that she was never going to lose in their staring contest. "I know ehat you mean," she said, "But wouldn't it be more suspenseful if the word comes from you? You like it, you always does. The thrill of making everybody hold tight of their breathe as they wait for your so-called special revelation. The satisfaction you get each time you hear the rapid beating of their hearts as they seek for a moment of truth... From you."

Dear readers, Notice that there is a slight difference in the way the story is written. The following are elements included in the book and what they depict: (** **) : Instead of inverted commas, this is used to depict thought. (**" "**) : It is used to depict; narration, and/ or flashbacks. Whenever a character is telling a story or recalling a flashback, this is normally used. ("^ ^") : It is used to depict written words, texts or messages. Whenever a character sends or replies to a message via mobile devices, this is normally used.

“They’re already writing the headline.” I step closer to the console. “Patch me in.” Ben turns sharply. “Not yet.” “Yes,” I say calmly. “But not to argue with them.” Sally looks between us. “What are you planning.” “To show sequence,” I reply. “Not opinion.” I pull up the timeline Sally has built, the clean, unforgiving alignment of timestamps that tells the story without commentary, and I feel a steady calm settle into me, because facts like this do not shout and they do not beg.
