Your hero’s journey can take many forms. Perhaps you met your soulmate at a cooking class in Tuscany and now make fresh pasta every evening – you’re 40 kilos overweight but happy. You took your eight-year-old daughter to the lake where your parents took you as a child – she caught her first fish. Or maybe you want to record your family’s history. How Grandfather Ishmael escaped Lithuania hours before he was to be arrested for horse theft, how Grandma Chen left China penniless, then through hard work and a deft touch at the mahjong table, became one of Singapore’s leading real estate tycoons.

Perhaps you aren’t too sure how to start your story, how to focus, how to make it interesting for other people. The Ten Writing Tips in Share Your Journey will give you the tools and confidence to write more effective blogs, write for online and print publications, and make more effective presentations.

LEARN HOW TO:

  • Recognize the dynamics of your own hero’s journey

  • Get started by writing just one scene

  • Avoid the dreaded info dump

  • Create instant intimacy with the reader

  • Tell the story by following the Little Red Riding Hood Strategy

  • Create conflict with the Nancy Reagan Principle

  • Keep ‘em hanging on with the Scheherazade Scenario

  • Invoke the Story of One to represent the Story of Many

  • Write like Steven Spielberg directs

  • Eliminate fluff like Michelangelo
