As I’ve been writing more and more, I’ve also been trying to understand the format of storytelling and the components that make it up: Hero, Problem, Guide, Plan, Action, Failure, Success, Resolution - to name a few.
All good stories have pieces of these components in them, no matter how long the story may be. Even a simple, social media caption can contain these elements to create something compelling. Blogs probably should too, but often mine can lack that due to the style I present. But still, story. It resounds all around us.
We live our lives, and our lives contain these pieces. That’s what makes us all interesting and all worth listening to. We have story. We are story. We live story.
How will you tell it?
