From time-to-time I receive emails from people who hear about me.. here is one I received today.
Thank you David!

From: David Dantes
Subject: Telling stories

I read your entry in Poynter’s newsletter about telling stories and I CAN NOT agree more.

I’m about to start selling my first book on becoming a better lawyer, probably as an ebook.

It’s 73,000 words.
And I found that THE BEST WAY to write it was:

“Here’s a principle you need to learn to become better at this.
“And here’s the story of how I learned it.”

I’ve found that by merely repeating the title of that section to someone that’s heard the story, the story — and the principle — come back to mind rather quickly.

Thank you for your entry.
Let’s hope A LOT of writers take you to heart.
David Dantes
