The Importance of Writing a Focused Story with Specific Details

When writing a story, it is crucial to focus on a specific event rather than scattering details across various timelines. Story expert Marcus Spar emphasizes the need to avoid excessive backstory and instead remain focused on the core narrative. By highlighting sensory details like sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch, storytelling becomes vivid and compelling, inviting readers to fully immerse themselves in the experience. Including emotional details helps convey the internal landscape of the storyteller, fostering empathy and understanding.
