Conflict In Your Stories Is What Readers Long For

If you want your story to cut the mustard with your readers, then lace it with several helpings of that not-so-secret ingredient: conflict.

Conflict does not always imply physical disagreements leading to fisticuffs, although it certainly can be this. James Bond and Indiana Jones offer this in buckets. But the writers often bring in other kinds of conflict which may be a little more cerebral.

Conflict can be conflict of purpose, conflict of ideologies, conflict in social standing and, of course, the inner conflict where the character is torn between two courses of action which they have to wrestle with and decide upon.

Good Questions For Effective Communication

Mark Twain once famously said that if he’d had more time, he’d have written a shorter letter. In saying that, he captured a truth most professional writers and speakers recognize: Being brief is more difficult than going on at length.

This is also true of the art and science of asking questions, and remember that good questions are critical in effective communication.

I used to be a radio news reporter and announcer, so I’ve asked more than my share of unscripted questions. And, I’ll admit it can be just as difficult to ask a concise question as it is to write a concise document.

Copywriting Triggers - Curiosity Gets Their Attention

In 1923, Claude Hopkins, one of the greatest copywriters who ever lived, wrote about the idea of using psychological triggers in advertising to increase sales. Hopkins concluded in his renowned book Scientific Advertising that “Human nature does not change“…”In most respects, Human Nature is the same today as it was in the time of Caesar”. What he was saying is that we don’t have to change the way copy is presented because the psychological triggers that induce people to buy are perpetual.

In Powerpoint Business Presentations, Visual Aids Must Be Both (be Visual And Be An Aid)

I sat through a presentation where the speaker handed the audience a copy of his notes (his talk written out in full), projected those same notes onto a screen behind him, and then read word-for-word from his notes, and sometimes from the screen, which amounted to the same thing. The overall effect was deadly.

The thing to remember about visual aids is that they must be visual and they must aid. Too many people, when called upon to make a presentation or speech, think they must project their words onto a screen behind them as row after row of bulleted points. The result is death by bullets.
