N e going to develop these 5 tips in storytelling, we refer to a story, the story of a pencil. A pencil that will remind us what we need to do to tell a compelling story:
This is the story of a young woman, a self-entrepreneur who makes beautiful boxes with crayons. And one day, she took a pencil and she said this pencil: Look, if you want to get your life in pencil, I'll give you 5 very important tips.

1) You must understand that pencil alone does not work, it was not useful, it must be held by someone's hand. You must agree to be bound by hand another . This is the first tip for a pencil.

In storytelling, this is perhaps the first advice for someone who wants to write and tell stories. has to accept the advice of others , listen to them, and say that it is for the other and not just yourself. So think first one (the one / ones that you tell your story) before thinking about you.

2) For a pencil is very sharp, it must be cut ... And it is rather painful, you'll be pruned from time to time and it is not really much fun, but it ' is how you'll get better.

Storytelling, this can be painful, it is not always successful, but it is telling stories that are improved . This is part of learning storytelling, which allows to improve.

3) As you may have noticed, after this there is a pencil eraser. Why? Well, because we have the right to make mistakes but we must correct its mistakes.

And when stories are told, we must also correct its mistakes . For example, it is not enough to write an e-mail and send it, it must be read, or even read it to others to ask their opinion, and be corrected to improve their texts.

4) Looks like you're built there which is your essence, your soul is mine. Then around outside, there is the wood that protects you.

If you want to write and / or tell the story, the most important thing is your home, protect it!
By enriching your home that you will tell great stories and your storytelling will be effective. It is reading books, meeting people, trying to get to know others, enriching you personally that you can tell great stories that have impact.

5) Continue to write again and again!

Whatever the medium, paper, Internet, video ... Continue and continue to tell stories.
