Yawn?! How could anyone yawn on reading your description of that violent face twitching and those nostrils flaring like a charging rhino! Hilarious!

What a treat to see you break down one of your stories into the different elements that give it its power.

It’s fascinating to read about the neurotransmitters that good storytelling activates. But even better that you translated them into actionable steps writers can take to create a narrative that captures attention, draws the reader in, and delights and surprises them.

Woah! Who knew?! What a treat to read a post that offers real, actionable information instead of the run-of-the-mill writing "advice" we see so often. I know a fair amount about how to produce high-quality writing, but you gave me solid food for thought. Outstanding.
