If I started with the story, I don't know where it's going to lead, then that doesn't work.
So points first, then stories.
I love that.
And then some stories might be a metaphor.
It might be a one line.
It might be something longer.
Stories can take on so many different shapes and sizes.
So then there's not like a uniform like every grandchild is the same size.
And, you know, it's I want to make that point, but I don't have a story to go with it.
So I might say this is a Mick and I are both published by the same publisher and.
And their advice to me was until publishing day, it's a sprint.
And after publishing day, it's a marathon.
And my publishing day was last week.
And I feel like I just started a marathon.
That is a story of an author's journey.
It doesn't have to be long.
I don't agree when people say I don't have time to tell stories.
That's just you don't have time to give yourself the freedom to think about them, to be vulnerable, to trust that your audience wants to hear them.
So great.
I love points and stories.
