A Practical Guide to Effective Storytelling

Years ago, classical writing used the omnisicent telling approach like a news reporter, which was great back then. Not everyone could read and write. Without TV and movies, people sat in the parlor and listened to someone read the story.

Today, our parlors have movies with setting, sound, and action. Music sets the mood of calm or panic, mystery or suspense, tragedy or comedy. Action, expressions, and dialog show the emotion. With a love for cinematic action, few people will spend weeks reading a book when they can get the story on screen in a few hours.

Books can be better than movies, but only when readers become the main character and live the story through the images, thoughts, and feelings from their own experiences.

Storytelling at Its Best goes beyond common writing practices to focus on what will make your stories captivating. Learn the simple SCOOP IT UP with its seven essential storytelling blocks to find your best storyline. Practice building great sentences with sharp detail and vivid color, with dialog and action that makes your stories real and believable.
