The Rush to Tell

Over the past few months, I've realized that I'm a good teller. I can summarize a scene incorporating tension/drama pretty well... this is very bad, because good telling rarely beats good showing (yes, I said rarely b/c there are times I wholeheartedly believe good telling is needed to segue between more important showing).

Good showing tends to be a bit harder for me not b/c I'm not a good show-er, but b/c I tend to be ADD in most things I do, including writing, and I'm always driving hard to get to the scene/chapter/section end in the fewest words possible (my agent might laugh at this since when she asked for a revision, hoping I could get down from 76k to 70k, I ended up sending her the MS at 87k... in the end, we ended up making it a bit longer before going on sub). But the final result is that sometimes I end up wasting time spending extra time rewriting b/c I realize that amping drama through proper, sometimes extended, showing is more critical than creating a fine economy of words (by a skosh).

I'm currently working on 2 big projects at the same time, a first for me, and this helps my focus issues to a degree, but I'm still falling into the trap more than I'd like. Do you have scene foibles, large scale or small, that you find yourself repeating, and, if so, how do you address them?
