Andy, I loved this episode. I fit right into the newbie don't doobie issue of overwriting and too many ideas. Also liked what she had to say about show don't tell since that will likely always be my greatest challenge. I've found one or two sentences of showing followed by dialogue are my go to fix. Very glad to hear her say that's,a good way to mix showing and telling.
