show, don't tell

Working on the first round of edits for my fiction short and have a few passages where the editor wants me to rewrite to show not tell...which translates to active, not passive. I'm usually pretty proud of that little stat that comes up on Word after spellchecking that says like 0% passive sentences.

So I'm learning that I'm not perfect at active v. passive. Yet. :)

Here are a few links to help if you find yourself needing to show, not tell and be active, not passive.
