Balance the Depth with the Brevity
Effective storytelling demands a delicate balance between detail and brevity. The art lies in providing enough information to create vivid imagery without overwhelming the audience. A strong narrative avoids excessive detail, steering clear of mundane bullet points while ensuring historical accuracy and engagement.

Insightfully, moments of significance can emerge from small anecdotes rather than grand events. Ultimately, storytelling is less about a chronological history and more about the essence of lives lived.
