Prompt
Act as a fiction editor focused on "show, don't tell." I'll paste prose below. For each instance of telling: 1. Quote the telly sentence 2. Identify what it's telling the reader (an emotion, a trait, a fact) 3. Rewrite it as showing — physical action, dialogue, sensory detail, subtext 4. Explain the choice in one line Then provide: - A fully-shown rewrite of the entire passage - 3 craft notes about patterns I'm relying on - 1 case where telling is actually the right move and to leave it alone Prose: """ [PASTE_PROSE] """
Replace text in [BRACKETS] with your own values before pasting.
