Stories that stick

Why do some stories resonate with readers and others fall flat like a 2x4?

Usually, it’s not the plot.

It’s the prose.

Intentionally clear writing = more reader empathy.

Intentionally complex writing = more reader distance

Want readers to feel something?

Stop showing off. 

Start being honest and be clear.
