Writing Workshop

Welcome to the first ShadowWorkshop — and what better place to begin than with one of the most whispered pieces of writing advice: Show, don’t tell.

But here, we’re not just swapping “she was scared” for “her hands trembled.” We’re digging into the bones of vivid description — how to shape atmosphere, evoke emotion, and guide the reader’s eye with purpose. This 10-page workshop will walk you through:

• The psychology of immersive language

• When telling is actually the right move

• Layering the senses for full-body storytelling

• Cinematic techniques that bring horror and fantasy to life

• Plus: Two writing challenges to stretch your descriptive muscle

🗣️ Discussion prompt:

What’s one scene or sentence from your own writing where you told instead of showed — and how would you change it now? Or, if you’ve completed one of the exercises, feel free to share it below.

Take your time. Re-read. Reflect. There’s no rush here.

Let’s begin in the shadows.
