Introduction The well-written story is clear and convincing. Quotes, anecdotes and actions involve the reader and listener in the event. Their use and the inclusion of specific details serve to convince the reader and viewer that the account is truthful.
To keep the reader glued to the piece, sentences are short, an everyday vocabulary is used and transitions are used to keep the separate elements and themes tightly structured.
The well-written story has a tone, pace and a rhythm that match the nature of the event. Writers read widely to learn the writing trade, and they are not reluctant to rewrite their work.
