Make it Memorable

The way he writes

I agreed with you that the writer of the book had a certain kind of spark that made it very easy to read. I thought it was cool how he would build off of every comment he made. He wouldn’t just say something and not back it up. Something else that Dotson did to make it very easy to read was use examples. I saw it as an attempt to help you understand what he was talking about.

What I learned from the passage 9 to 27

I learned that we all can tell better stories immediately by remembering. By the he meant that telling a story from sheer memory is a lot easier than remembering hazy parts of the story. Some things that Dotson went into detail were: The rule of the threes, Filling the silence, and the non-question/question. Those are three suggestions that Dotson gave us to make our stories better even under the tightest deadline.

Other interesting parts about the script

I thought the context that Dotson used was interesting. The way he wrote the book was pretty cool. There are parts where it’s almost like a paper. With the introduction body paragraphs and conclusion. And also other parts that are really messy. He also doesn’t really have any type of arrangement. It seems like he started writing and just threw everything down on the paper.
