Story Telling Crash Course

When it comes to constructing a strong story, which will keep the reader engaged – there are several principles you can follow.

It’s important to know and understand your audience. Consideration should always be given to who will be reading your content, prior to creating it.

Creating a storyboard before writing will give the creator a great sense of where they’re starting and ending. Seeing the big picture while working out the details is always helpful.

Emotion, emotion, emotion! Be sure to evoke emotion with descriptive language. Make your reader laugh and cry!

Protagonists give the reader a hero or interest character to identify with. In my experience, I always feel more connected to literature or a movie which has a character I can relate to.
