A MIGHTY METAPHOR
Kill it with curiosity.
Metaphors are fascinating. Especially when theyre a bit unusual. Metaphors make it easy to understand a concept. Set it up and drive it home. Have fun with it and your readers will too.

POINT OF VIEW

WRONG
NEGATIVE
Have no fear.
You might have been told its best to stay positive. Wrong. Its positively boring, actually. Break free from the predictable how to now and then. Be a contrarian. Amplify a painful problem. Use the magnetic pull of the no-no and the power of the unknown.

CONVENTION

CHALLENGE
CHALLENGE CONVENTION
Speak your mind.
Your unpopular opinion might make your content popular. When I told thought leaders what I thought of their ridiculous selfappointed title, I ruffled some feathers. But I dont apologize for having an opinion. I strongly suggest you have a strong point of view and put it out there.

HUMAN NATURE
Basic needs.
Take a cue from the covers of Cosmopolitan and the other popular magazines that fly off displays at the checkout counter. Headlines that speak to our basic desires such as sex, love, comfort, and happiness will generate supreme curiosity. Of course, it doesnt hurt to get a little frisky now and then either.

RIDICULOUS FUN
Get theatrical.
Why not take chances with some unconventional storytelling styles? This ones a comedy sketch. Its a parody actually. I had a blast writing it and the readers got a kick out of it too. Keep your eyes open for some day-to-day drama, give it a twist and surprise your audience now and then.
