On episode #47 of the Speak Up Storytelling podcast, Matthew and Elysha Dicks talk storytelling!
In our followup segment, we pass on some advice about computer screens from a listener and an unexpected benefit of Homework for Life from another. Then we solicit some suggestions and advice on publicizing my next novel, Twenty-one Truths About Love.
Then Elysha departs and we listen to my story about trying to rent a car to Boca Raton with an expired driver’s license.
After listening, I discuss:
-
A variety of strategies for shortening and elongating stories
-
Effective places to begin stories
-
Dealing with facts too good to be true
-
Reasons to break my own rules
-
Identifying and enhancing surprise
