Write in such a way so readers never forget how your book made them feel.

The title seems a bit long here:). However, it's a point I wanted to emphasize. Anyone can write a book, it is the lasting impression it leaves the reader that makes it an exceptional book.

Have you read books that have influenced your way of thinking or even moulded you into the human you have turned into? Are you proud of who you are?

Beautiful thoughts create a beautiful mind, and I believe in that adage, to live a life amidst resplendence.

In this regard, I mean to adore nature and live simply, and you will never regret life. 

This morning I wrote a short article (3 min. read)  on Biopage titled "The Influence of Vivid Imagery & Descriptions in Storytelling." Here's the link:https://www.biopage.com/post/the-influence-of-vivid-imagery-and-descriptions-in-storytelling. Leave me a comment to let me know what you think.

Here's an excerpt:

Dialogues are important structure-building elements of a story. Dialogues add depth, and realism, and are a vital component to effective storytelling. However, stories can be told without them if the imagery and descriptions ignite an interest in a reader's five senses. ‘The Road' by Cormac McCarthy is a fine example of a successful fiction novel without dialogue that won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007. McCarthy concentrates on rich descriptions to attract the reader's senses, adding depth and rhythm to the story. He was so good that his book exemplified the power of descriptive language to pique a reader's interest and win the coveted title.

Happy reading.

The Faction Revolution Modules 1-3 (A revolutionary method of storytelling)

The Faction Revolution Modules 1-3 (A revolutionary method of storytelling)
Fiction writing, the traditional way, can feel too distant, while traditional non-fiction writing can feel too mundane, almost boring to the readers. This is where Faction is the bridge, providing the legitimacy of facts with an emotional touch to a narrative. In this module, we move beyond "contemporary storytelling" into "Truth+Fiction, a revolutionary storytelling method that has worked for me to tell my stories. An unquestionable approach to adding facts within a fiction genre will allow you to preserve a veritable record of human history within a framework that is easy to consume and imagine. Faction is a pragmatic approach to a world losing its grip on historical truth. It has turned into a connective arc that ensures history remains alive, vibrant, believable, and, most importantly, relevant to the people of tomorrow. It is another way of ensuring that historical events and other factual information are widely read and disseminated.
