Episode description

Have you heard of the saying, "Show—don't tell?"

In this episode, the writers talk about info-dumps—boring blocks of text with backstory or other information writers think their readers need to know.
But the question is, do they really need to know so much? And is there a better way of sharing this information besides dumping it all in a very boring paragraph that stops the story moving forward?

Listen in to hear what the gang have to say.

Our special guest is Sue Whiting! Make sure you check out her books.
