Template
Before finalizing, audit your prose for 'telling' statements that name emotions or traits directly ('she was angry', 'he was brave'). For each instance, ask: would a concrete action, sensory detail, or line of dialogue convey this more powerfully? Convert at least the most flagrant tells into shows, but preserve intentional telling used for pacing or summary. Note in your revision which tells you kept deliberately and why.
