Why Audiences Relate To A Story.

What makes a story personally meaningful to someone.šŸ“š Hey there, storytellers! It's all about connection! A story holds a special place in our hearts when it mirrors our personal experiences, emotions, beliefs, and values. It's a part of us, an extension of who we are. So when we say a story means a lot to us, it's because we've poured our authentic selves into it. It resonates with us, and chances are, it'll resonate with others too. Stories are our unique way of communicating who we are, what we've experienced, and how we perceive the world.

Stories are valued for many reasons, including theĀ  wisdom they impart, the moral lessons they teach, the historical significance they provide, and theĀ  social critiques they offer. They also provide entertainment and can offer psychological insightsĀ  that help people learn and remember information through the act of storytelling. A story canĀ  be valuable for all of these reasons. However, a question that keeps popping up is what makesĀ  a story personally meaningful to someone. When a writer say
s "my story means a lot to me," whatĀ  does that mean? As a form of art, a story is an expression of oneself. Therefore, a writer isĀ  an artist, and their story is a piece of art. A story is a culmination of a writer's pastĀ  experiences, beliefs, values, perspectives, and feelings, and it's a visual narrativeĀ  representation of that. In other words, a story is an extension of a part of you, and therefore, theĀ  story represents that part of you. However, it's not a consciously known thing that's h
appening. WeĀ  just say "I relate to that" or "I want that" or "I agree with that" or "I think that's how we shouldĀ  be" or "I believe that's good and that is bad." Art is an extension of oneself, and a story isĀ  no different. As an artist, if a story provides an authentic and daring representationĀ  of certain aspects of the author's self, such as beliefs, values, perspectives, feelings,Ā  past, or present, it is likely to resonate with others who share those same aspects and thus beĀ  representati
ve and meaningful to others as well.

I wrote a short story recently that had a complicated magic system and urban post apocalypse setting and showed it to my family and friends. I tried to make it approachable to the average audience by including a bunch of action scenes and focus less on the setting and magic. But when I asked my family and friends what they liked about the story, they said it was the magic system and setting and they thought the action scenes didn't do a good job helping that aspect. It made me realize that the best thing a story can do is show your own worldview and conflicts and the last thing you should do is pander to what you think others will think.

Joe. I m writing a novel. Itā€™s a mystery novel. Iā€™ve written short stories, poems, blogs and essays. Iā€™m wondering how I can flesh out my story to make it the length it needs to be to make a full scale novel. Iā€™m afraid if I make it to long it will be boring
