Your prompt

Scan this fiction excerpt for 'telling', places where I state an emotion, trait, or backstory instead of dramatizing it. List each telling sentence, explain what's being told rather than shown, and rewrite it as a concrete sensory detail, action, or bit of dialogue that lets the reader infer the same thing. Don't rewrite the whole passage, give me before/after pairs for the 5-8 worst offenders, then one fully revised paragraph as a model.
