A story

So, I love writing (this isn't a dating question, just general) and I write tons of different stories but, I feel like it's hard to remember to "show not tell." Is there any advice you have? Especially when you are telling in first-person pov.

I'd just check out Percy Jackson. I think first person is a great way to get in your main characters head, but in doing so kinda locks you out of other characters and events. If there's more going on around the character, then you can definitely have the character see things or notice weird details and not know how to make sense of it, only for more things to come together and now that character gets it.

There are pros and cons of writing in first person. The general directions would be thriller, horror or comedy. Show and not tell is a great way. One of the best methods I find is by writing an idea that is to be explored, similar to a mind map, and slowly write associated similies, adjectives and adverbs all related to said idea or noun. This is a great way of using those to formulate sentences that can be indicative of what you want. In addition, as boring as it may be, everything has character, nouns and places all present historical value. To put it in a useable mindset, imagine, the history of every place in the world. Things don’t just appear. They have history, and history behind places and things is the best form of show and not tell possible. (edited)

Talk about how your body is responding something. The way you taste the air, the soft tingles in your hand. The way you fear something with a shallow breath write about your truly experiencing something so when you come back to that moment and you read it you experience it all over again.

American Psycho is a good example of a main character who's perception is unreliable throughout the story. an unreliable character is the only way I could think to "show not tell" in first person. Maybe you could find the underlying theme there and apply it elsewhere. In the movie he's sociopathic and as such has a hard time understanding more nuanced social concepts. You can really see this when he's talking to the detective investigating the murder of Paul Allen. The director had Dafoe do 3 takes for each of his scenes. 1 take he had no idea Patrick committed the murder, the 2nd take he was suspicious but not sure, the 3rd take he absolutely knew he killed him. The director then took these scenes and mixed them up so they were seemingly random. The investigator seemed to be all over the place in his demeanor and disposition. This is to show that Patrick really couldn't understand his attitude or social concepts so he couldn't tell what the investigator was thinking. You can find a short clip about this on YouTube, I recommend it. There's also other scenes where he kills someone very violently then the scene jumps back to him just talking to the person normally. The killing was just a thought and didn't actually happen. This is tough to do in writing, you'd have to make it obvious somehow that it didn't actually happen. But that's the idea.

I recommend a gist (not a spoil) a quick gist of what it's about such as genre, character and characteristic and sum it up with a alluring sum up to make them excited to read it. It's what I do when telling about my stories. (Example) I'm making a supernatural,medieval,action packed rise to power story, a young princess named Victoria, she faces adversity against difficult times of sexism and abuse from her father's brutal reign and other kingdoms. Told from her first person view she leaves nothing out including action,horrors and tribulations,enjoy the tale of The chrimson tounge chronicles.
