I am a writer who tells a story. There is a difference between writing a story and telling a story. Telling a good story is all about the detail. If you really want people to read you have to tell them a story that they can relate to. You also need to draw them into the story the first chance you get.
The fun of telling stories is you get to make them dramatic and detailed. Another aspect of telling a good story is you have to throw the most interesting part of your story at the beginning. Kind of like when you take the first bite of a sundae. You get the whip cream and cherry first because it is the best part. Which makes you want to eat more because the first bite tastes so good.
This sounds like a good strategy to writing. I never really though tabout writing a story that way. I like to comparison to a sundae.
