I worked briefly at two different online learning companies whose business model involved storytelling as their primary teaching tool. Over time I had several different project managers and one of them stands out above the rest. The others would say, "This isn't right," or "rewrite the text in the third screen so that your word count is less than 150." Lisa would take "pen" in hand and either write a screen or two from scratch or else rewrite a screen or two that I had drafted. It was a wonderfully clear way for me to understand what she wanted by way of voice, tone, language, etc.
I think it was courage on her part (and I'm sorry, but lack of courage from the others). Courage is good.

I think the expression "show, don't tell" is vastly over-used. Writers should do it more and talk about it less. This is one of my favorite "showy" scenes. |
