Did you know that #Chekhov never said "show, don't tell"? What he actually said was:
"In descriptions of nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes their eyes they get a picture."
Which makes so much more sense.

@jackewilson.bsky.social talks to Bob Blaisdell, author of Chekhov Becomes Chekhov, about the two-year period in which #Chekhov went from a virtual unknown to a promising literary star admired by Tolstoy himself. #botd #literature @pegasusbooks.bsky.social

Just imagine the many Maryas who have existed, all over the world, their best selves sacrificed to exigency, whose grace suffered under the pressure of being poorly suited to the toil required of them to make a living. (Maybe, like me, you've been one of them yourself.)’ #Saunders #Chekhov

A post on Twitter/X addressed to Putina, translation of the Russian in the main post.

Translation:
“It is sad that you were not taught by the greats — Tolstoy, Chekhov, Dostoevsky.
‘A person is capable of terrible acts not from strength, but from the inability to endure their own insignificance.’”

is history on repeat? part 88 - Tolstoy, War and Peace

The 4 great Russian writers and the empire.

History on repeat.

Apparently, Chekhov actually said, "In descriptions of nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes their eyes they get a picture." Thus, it's absolutely not about not telling, but about choosing what to tell.

#WritingCommunity #Chekhov #storytelling

The "show, don’t tell" advice has always puzzled me. It makes you neurotically check whether you’re accidentally telling instead of showing. But since you’re literally putting words together, you end up telling anyway.

Day 20 of filming "Ward Six". Celebrating the privilege of working with such great actors as Caroline Felber, Jenny Kantsjö, Peter Seaton-Clark and Seán McDonagh. Also many thanks to Nuria and Serafin Mani, Gerhard Berger and Lukas Schläpfer for today's successful shoot! #chekhov #wardsix

Day 15 of shooting "Ward Six". The last supper? No, still 9 days to go! But if you add the two directors we do have one guy humming the Messiah and 12 further people at the table. Thank yo to everyone involved and the cheese plant that keeps materializing on set #chekhov #wardsix #supportindiefilm

Only draw back is, it’s so readable I have to put the brakes on in order to absorb the insights, do the thinking, and get the most from it #booksky#pukapuka #Chekhov #GeorgeSaunders

Book cover for A Swim in the Pond in the Rain by George Saunders. The cover is a blue-grey colour with images in a place yellow, of someone swimming in freestyle, someone else floating, another diving (only their legs can be seen above the water). There are also Lilly pads

Why, oh why haven’t I been reading more Chekhov? Or, more specifically, Chekhov through the lens of the multi-talented George Saunders?

Those thoughts reframed: minus the regret - no time for that - thank goodness I’m on to it now. #amustread #booksky #pukapuka #Chekhov #GeorgeSaunders

Day 11 of filming "Ward Six". Reto Portmann portrayed the ward porter Nick like a force of nature - a very menacing force of nature. Thanks to Reto, Peter Seaton-Clark, Orlando Brooke, @gabriel.gambetta.actor Nuria Mani, Gerhard Berger, Eni Ford for another productive day! #chekhov #wardsix

Day 9 of filming "Ward Six". Yes, Orlando Brooke that is not green! Is that possible on our set? Many thanks for yet another great filming day to you and Peter Seaton-Clark, Brian Pinkus, Eni Ford, Gerhard Berger and Serafin Mani #wardsix #chekhov #supportindiefilm
