In This Episode

What makes the difference between an ordinary story and a powerful story?

(For starters, they don’t make the 5 mistakes in this upcoming episode 🙂

The real answer is Emotion, and knowing which parts of the story to use for the biggest impact on the reader.

Remember, if your readers don’t feel it, they’re going to forget it and they’re going to forget you. Without the experience of a story expert, it’s hard to pick the parts to keep, get rid of, or rewrite for more emotional impact.

So I invited legendary Hollywood story consultant, Michael Hauge, to come for on a new interview.

You’ll learn the 5 mistakes ordinary storytellers make, and how to avoid “skimming the surface” on a good story.
