Narration, Description, Dialogue Are All You Need for a Great Story
The best storytellers, writers, and speakers share one secret: they master narration, description, and dialogue.
stories and novels consist of three parts: narration, which moves the story from point A to point B and finally to point Z; description, which creates a sensory reality for the reader; and dialogue, which brings characters to life through their speech.
If you want to tell a good story, whether in writing or speaking, you only need to master three essential parts: narration, description, and dialogue.
Take notes when you watch a movie, read a good essay, or listen to an engaging podcast. You’ll see these elements everywhere.
The narration moves the story forward, the description makes you feel it, and the dialogue makes it real.
Once you start noticing this pattern, you’ll never consume stories the same way again. And when you bring these three tools into your own work, you’ll communicate with clarity and life. Most people never get that far.
