Greetings! Today, we dive into the art of storytelling.

So, what's the key to making stories resonate with people?

It's all about creating conflict and tension. Without it, stories become dull.

But don't forget, it's not just about the conflict; it's about the characters too.

Exactly! Characters should be relatable and multi-dimensional. They must feel real!

So, how do we show, not tell? Are vivid descriptions the key?

That's right! Let the audience feel, see, smell, and hear the story through the characters.

But pacing is also crucial. We need to balance action with moments of reflection.

And finally, provide a satisfying ending that ties everything together eloquently, with a cherry on top.

Explain the art of good story telling, what to do and what not to do: Good story telling doesn't tell you, it makes you feel and think through the story, so you can come to the same conclusions on your own. Don't preach or moralize in your stories. Show, Don't Tell: Instead of simply telling the audience what's happening, use vivid descriptions and actions to paint a picture in their minds. Let them experience the story through the characters' senses

Moral or ethics is trained by the neocortex. You can't change them. Napoleon attacks from the side. Let the user experience the emotion and update their prefrontal cortex. It cannot be directly changed.

Stories are the most elemental form of seduction. Stories make you feel, see, smell and come to life.

Stories are seductive and primal. They come alive with details that make you feel, see, smell and hear the story.

The core of a good story is drama and human emotion. People throughout history have grappled with death, love and failure. These are the stories that resonate.

Conflict and Tension: A story needs conflict to drive it forward. It creates tension and keeps the audience engaged, wondering how the conflict will be resolved.

Pacing: A well-paced story has a rhythm that keeps the audience interested. It knows when to speed up for action and excitement, and when to slow down for reflection and emotion.

Strong Characters: Create characters who are relatable and multi-dimensional, with their own motivations, flaws, and desires. Let the audience connect with them on an emotional level.

Satisfying Ending: While it's important to avoid being overly preachy, a good story often leaves the audience with something to think about. A satisfying ending ties up loose ends and resolves the central conflict in a way that feels meaningful and complete.
