Tips for picking your first story

lightbulb

Pick something you've told before. If you've shared a story at a dinner party, you can share it here. It's already tested.

favorite

Emotion matters more than plot. A small moment that made you feel something beats a big event that didn't.

timer

Start small. Your first story doesn't have to be your best. A 2-minute story is a perfect first step.

mic

Don't overthink it. Hit record and start talking. You can always try again.

Still think your life is boring?

The most common lie we tell ourselves is "my life isn't interesting enough." But the math proves otherwise.
