Welcome back to Season 2 of Cutting Chai Stories with Jayati Vora, a short-form podcast dedicated to breaking down the mysteries of writing. Every Thursday, I'll be bringing you a short story, teaching you some of the techniques used, and giving you a writing prompt to write a story of your own. This season, for the first time, I'll also be exploring how to use those writing techniques in writing for your business -- that is, copy you can use as an entrepreneur. 

Episode 1 is all about the rule of threes: what it is, how to recognize it, and why you should make it an essential part of your writing repertoire. Thanks so much to Diane Stinnett for sharing her story with us! Diane is a graphic designer and social media manager from Louisville, Kentucky, who is rediscovering the passion for writing that she says got lost somewhere in her 20s. She was one of many writers who participated in my July 2020 #astoryaday writing challenge in my Cutting Chai Stories Facebook group. This story is from that period. I hope it inspires you to write your own.
