ON POINT!

i've said it before and i'll say it again. writers are always told to 'show, don’t tell,' but sometimes you just have to tell. no one needs a poetic paragraph about how the sky is an emotional metaphor for your protagonist’s angst when you can just say, 'he was sad.' trust your instincts. you know when to show and when to tell.
