Today’s prompt:
Being a great storyteller on Notes, Part 1
Revise an old narrative Note or write a fresh one.
This is fun and really good for working your storytelling muscles:
Start mid-scene, mid-conversation, mid-conflict!
Start where it’s juicy and interesting—some call this “where the heat is.”
Don’t waste a single sentence setting the scene.
Start with the details of the story where it gets “real.”
