The Stories of Our Days

About the Book

You can write your true stories using techniques of fiction writing. That’s because, deep down, you understand story. The Stories of Our Days lets you tap in to that innate knowledge and tell your own stories using the same techniques as fiction writers. Think about the last good story you heard, one that had you leaning forward, eager beyond words to know what happens next. This book will enable you to put into print what good oral storytellers do vocally: provide description of details, employ dialogue, generate suspense. In short, you’ll be able to tell a story to enthrall.
