    "Fluent in pain" ... I felt that hard. I'm going to use that from now on because it perfectly describes it.

    I think the lecture itself had "hook", "the unexpected", "Cause and effect" "how did it feel" and "specific details" in leaps and bounds

    5 essentials of immersive story telling
    1. Hooks - they grab our attention
    2. Unexpected- the art of surprise. It unbalances the audience and makes them wonder what is coming next.
    3. Cause and effect - a link of series of events (one thing happening after another) that creates a dynamic chain of occurrences.
    4. How did it feel - explaining mentally, emotionally, physically how you feel in a given story helps audience connect on a given level.
    5. Concrete, specific detail - it is the lifeblood of storytelling: it convinces us.

    I wanted to be a writer yet it never occured to me that I should practice telling stories. I've never really told stories. I remember a beautiful girl asked me once "Tell me a story". Here I was wanting to be a writer but I don't remember if I actually came up with one. My whole family stories. Maybe that's why I wanted to be a writer.

      It's never too late, look into self publishing! I was able to publish 3 short stories when I was in middle schooland I might look into doing it again when I'm out of college which I'm currently in. I made 20 dollars. My stories were ebooks priced at 3-5 dollars. I think you can do it. You just gotta take that leap and see where it takes you. :)

    The balance of pain and bliss. Buddhism, the understanding that pain is required to also understand and appreciate pleasure. Our desire for more also requires the experiences and actions to achieve balance. Nirvana, heaven, whichever you actively choose within all right in this life. Most often relate to pain when pain has been experienced that hasn't completely broken a person. Love is a strength.

    It takes big brass ones to expose yourself as weak, flawed, hapless, vulnerable. But that’s exactly what it takes to be truly authentic. Read Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt for a truly artistic example of the language of pain.

    What is a story? To help you distance from traumatic experience?
    5 essentials of immersive storytelling:
    (What we already know)
    Hooks:
    The unexpected; art of surprise
    Cause and effect:
    How did it feel?
    Concrete specific detail
    *What's new:*
    None of these techniques mean anything without authenticity.
    If I'm not authentic, something could happen to someone else.
    I don't know how to lower the magic of writing. Because truthfully it isn't magic. This isn't dead cold orthodoxy.
    How can I see my story change the space around us?

    @nelsonx5326 6 лет назад

    I wrote a 157,000 word story (fiction) that I'm trying to turn into a decent book. First I wrote the story, then got a word program to lay it out in a condition that might become a book someday. This month I bought 6 books on writing, and am trying to teach myself proper writing skills. I think I might be overwhelmed. I finished reading a book on grammar. Forget about style or craftiness with words, grammar alone has me wondering if I'm in over my head.
    I have a healthy imagination, no problem there. The story, a schizophrenic rock star who keeps popping in and out of completely different personalities while being transported half way around the world in a 600' luxury yacht to play a huge concert to save the planet is, I believe, an interesting and humorous one. I can picture everything like it's a movie, but I don't know if I can do this book thing.
    I should have studied writing. I'm an artist, studied classical guitar and played well till arthritis kicked in last year, I'm a silversmith, made bronze monuments, all kinds of smart skills. I had fun writing the story, it flowed, no writers block. But now, turning it into a real book, that is starting to scare me. I should be able to give my story to an expert on writing and have it fixed and made book worthy, don't you think?
    I'm due to retire soon.
    Maybe I can do it, make a book.

      You feel like teaching yourself to write seems a lot of work?
      Try to get some skills ,maybe give it some time,and find trust worthy,critical and honest beta-readers to give you critics ...
      Anyway,maybe it's to much,I don't know,you can chose .
      Good luck!

      It's a project, that's for sure. I knew my first draft was rough, but I didn't know how rough till I got some books on writing. If you are expert at something, have a skill that you have somewhat mastered, you know that your teacher only took you so far, that the mastery came from you and your input, your desire to excel and accomplish something. I got very good at the classical guitar. A half hour lesson a week for a year got me to the point where I could become self teaching. It was me that practiced 4 hours a day while holding down a full time job.
      We all know how to write some, but real writing is an art. I'll give it a serious try. I have the story, but I want to write a real book that people will keep turning pages because they are having fun and want to know what will happen next. Did you see that! I shouldn't have written "and want to know what will happen next", I should have written "and want to know what happens next".
      I'll show how I fixed a part of my story if you're interested.
      Thanks for the chat.

    • @jeanneratterman
      @jeanneratterman Год назад

      Just thinking on your question. He had been putting the time for 10 years already, not so successfully as a writer. He literally took a leap of faith, but not with the concern about himself but the potential burden of endangering the guy who set up the meeting with the boss. It was not just a story to write and make money, maybe become a little famous. He was stepping into another world where rules are different. It was a pivotal moment of choices and unknown consequences. He was being grounded in a way he never experienced. He had to get it right. He needed to listen and feel and offer his own vulnerability like never before. Was he in danger? Who knows. But i feel respect is at the heart of this. Honesty is key to respect. He had a life lesson that changed something in his brain and his heart. I don’t know him. Not familiar with his books, but i will check the library and make my own opinion. Whatever his experience, that’s his. Will his words relate to me on a human core level, which happened at that meeting, maybe.
