Thoughtober - Day Thirty

Full Circle

Today is a day to celebrate your humanness.

I would like you to think of a story that you would like to start to tell about your journey into improving your cognitive abilities.

How to start a story:

1. Craft an unexpected story opening

2. Start with a compelling image

3. Create interest with immediate action

4. Begin the story with a short sentence 

5. Pose a question for the reader

6. Engage a sense of curiosity

7. Build a convincing world and setting

8. Do something new with your writing - create a plot twist!

9. Create tension that has room to grow

10. Capture your readers’ attention

Your story needs a beginning, a middle and an end, preferably with an arc meaning that the beginning and end echo each other.

This is why story telling is so important. It is what makes us human and is the easiest way of conveying information that can swiftly and efficiently pass through communities.

Think about what information is currently crushing your cortex.

Think about what data would supercharge your cognition.

I would love to hear your stories so please feel free to record them, type them, video them and send them to me!

I will organise a prize for the most inspiring stories!

“I think you’re a fairy tale. I think you’re magical, and brave, and exquisite. And I hope you'll let me be in your story.”
