This video has been ready for a while, but a lot of things got in the way. I'm sorry it took so long. Show, don't tell is the age-old adage every writer hears, but what does it actually mean, and when should you tell, not show? 

Coming up next was meant to be On Worldbuilding: Death and the Afterlife, but due to some issues, that has had to be delayed, meaning it'll come out in a month or so, meaning the next video will be Fixing Legend of Korra S2. I do also have 2 second channel videos coming out soon! After that, what would you like to see?

Stay nerdy, and thank you for all your support!

Excellent video. Showing vs telling is something I personally have major problems with and most videos I see don't define it very well. Love the details and examples you used thought the video. What would I like to see next? How biased am I allowed to be here lol. So recently a friend of mine told me to take a look at the Mass Effect trilogy, knowing how much I like science fiction. I played through it and admittedly fell in love with the universe. So I think it'd be cool to see a video talking about some of the characters, the world building, etc. 😸
