As a storyteller your role is to immerse your audience in an experience, not to report events. Let your audience arrive at a conclusion themselves with clear evidence: real actions, dialogue, and atmosphere. As a rule of thumb, make your intention to illustrate a point, not to merely report it. By evoking feelings and creating sensations, you bypass your reader’s logical brain and let them effortlessly bathe in the rich worlds you build. Think of this as gently directing the natural flow of a river, as opposed to rigidly forcing a dam in its path.
