Most people forget this. . . The mission of storytelling is to: •Relate •Inspire •Motivate •Entertain Stories can make you rich and famous. But most people don't know where to begin. The 7 tips will make your stories fun & persuasive:

1.) Use unique characters Boring: •Fat •Tall •Dumb Entertaining: •Wide as a whale •Freckled and pale •A voice as deep as the ocean •The smile only a mother could love Think about the characters: •Flaws •Habits •Gestures •Personality There's a hidden tip here. . .

2.) Metaphors & Similes These methods are abstract. It forces the brain to think at a higher level. High-level thinking = High-level interest From the last Tweet: "A voice as deep as the ocean" Make sense? Buckle your seat belt for this next tip. . .

3.) Pacing Alternate between fast and slow events. Remember: Human brains are wired to detect change. The more change the more attention - catch my drift? Ex: "Bullets rained down like hail, his heartbeat was off the charts" Cut scene: "It was a cold fall day in England"

4.) Conflict Most people forget this: Conflict=Curiosity=Interest Conflict will lure your reader in Without it, there are no problems to solve Create conflict with: •Loops •Internal beliefs •Opposing forces •Societal problems No conflict = No story

5.) Foreshadowing Most storytellers show & tell. This is a HUGE mistake. Foreshadowing creates tension & suspense. Have you ever read a book you couldn't put down? Thank foreshadowing. "He held his wife's hand, not knowing it would be the last time. . ."

6.) Dialogue Dialogue creates different points of view. This pokes at the subconscious and the conscious This makes the reader shred through pages like a knife. "He did what" "You know what he did" "I can't believe it, he would never do that" Don't forget this. . .

7.) Get Feedback Please don't forget to do this. We all have different points of view. Have friends comment, review, and critique. Create a discord or telegram community with friends Bounce stories off each other. Don't forget: Who will promote your stories? Your friends
