The three kids, bored out of their mind, were looking for something to pass the time. Louise, the youngest of the bunch, was building a tower out of coasters at the bar when suddenly it crumbled down. Tina, the oldest more responsible, noticed the fall and said, "That's why you can't coast through building those things." She then continued to softly laugh at her own joke. Louise then said, "Oh you think you can do so much better?!?" To which Tina responded, "Ya, I do. I think I can do much better." Louise all fired up for competition shouted, "Wanna bet? Tallest structure made out of restaurant items wins!" In true Tina fashion, she lays down the rules, "Fine! We each have an hour to build the tallest structure. BUT the finished product must

I enjoyed going through and reading the different types of advice to writers. The piece of advice that stuck out to me the most was, "Streamline your story." The author put it simply, nobody is inherently interested in what you are doing or saying. This is so extremely true. I have always noticed, nobody has time to think of you because they are too busy thinking of themselves. This isn't rude or cruel it just means people are busy. So to make sure you stuff is read or listened to or watched, focus your idea. Make it interesting and make it count. I love this so much. I am about to go into the advertising industry and with people's attention span getting smaller we need to get our message across fast. We need to make it flashy and interesting but still tell a story. That is why I loved this author's advice. I think this is good imagery for the advice to streamline your story. Don't take unnecessary twist and turns, focus your point.  Web Source Lin
