RE: How to Speak so that People Remember?
This is a really well written and thought of piece Tifa.
You are on fire! Keep it going.
You're right, speaking and writing portion of storytelling can be two very different things.
Building a case to visualise is definitely number one.
But I've been told, I have a way to evoke emotions in my writing and I guess in my speaking too. Building up around a feeling is another powerful storytelling....which uses imagery too....but one that pegs onto emotional cues.
Thank you so much for reading and encouraging me @kchitrah
Yeah, that's why storytelling is powerful. It aligns the listener's and speaker's brainwaves on the same frequency. I'd like to hear how you do it Chitrah :)
Indeed!
I honestly am not sure. I know how to do it....I need to sit down, observe and de construct a little to see how it is done.
Personally my process is bringing a memory to mind, keeping that memory in the foreground and feeling it....the emotions....and I would describe it...or write about it in a way that portrays that feeling. Dunno if that even makes any sense . Hahaha.
Yea, yea, it makes sense to me. But how do you describe it? How do you write about it in a way that portrays that feeling?
Hmmmm ok now I really do need to deconstruct the process. Will get back to you on that ya Tifa xx
Thanks!! In the meantime, I'll try to find patterns in your posts XD
It's good to deconstruct what you've learned, so that you're aware how you do it and you can teach people to be as great as you are :)
Ooh..do let me know if you see something with your fresh pair of eyes.
It is a style.... But, many good writers out there have their own flair and uniqueness.
One thing I remember doing as I was growing up, is paying attention to how writers put words and string sentences together....picking up on various little stylistics imprints along the way.
I honestly really like Rowling, ... Not up there with the literary genius of the world....but her storytelling and relatability is just phenomenal. I read each book at least three times over the years . And with any movie...I sometimes enjoy watching it again to observe the storytelling and building of characters. ... Looking for the finer details I guess.
But that is a long term habit really. The process ... Coming soon :)
Yes sure!! If I get something, I'll be sure to tell you, that is if I do get something hahaha
Wow, you read 3 times for each book?? Amazing! Writers are avid readers also right? Like you :)
I guess you're a Harry Potter fans as well?
Lol, used to be an avid reader. Been a while since I picked up a book now.
I try to spend time with articles now given the time constraint.
Yes, I guess you could say that, I haven't read Rowling's other work....so for now it appears to be I am a Potterhead Lol.
