Exposition is a powerful tool in writing, but done poorly, it leads to infodumps and extremely boring writing. In this fun, engaging demonstration of how infodumps can be salvaged, I walk through different steps you can take to avoid and fix infodumps, and what you should do to strengthen your exposition even if you start out well. Although I start with a sample scene that is absolutely horrendous, the end result is quite good after taking all of the recommended steps! Unnecessary exposition is a weakness of mine, to be honest, which is one reason I wanted to write this. I follow these steps frequently to adjust what I have. If this is something you struggle with, or if your writing is dull or lagging in any way, following these steps and adding these elements will make a huge improvement!
