Q&A with Evelyn Clark, Question 4:

Q: If you could share just 1 piece of advice or wisdom about story/storytelling/narrative with readers, what would it be?

A: Be honest be genuine, and be true to your core values. It’s ok to “spin” a story for greater effect by adding insignificant elements for color or exaggerating details, especially when you make it clear that you’re just having fun with the audience, but the lessons conveyed must always be grounded in the truth of who you are.

Note: This Q&A will conclude Saturday after a Christmas posting on Friday.
