story seems too boring? Then this is the podcast you must listen to. Stories have been one of the most important ways to pass and retain information across millennia. No matter how much pizzazz you add to the presentation, without a story rooted in its foundation, the presentation isn't going to stick in anyone's mind. Aspiring writers make the mistake of jumping into the plot without having their fundamentals of the story right. This was the same mistake Surya did when he started writing. Over the years, he mastered the art of storytelling and now helps people in their storytelling journey. If you are an aspiring writer, this podcast is definitely for you. Surya delves into each concept with depth, explains the common mistakes that occur, and how you can apply these concepts in your storytelling journey.Surya is a writer/blogger who has been writing across genres and has been analyzing fiction material even earlier. He takes pride in meticulously designing his stories as well as his characters.You can follow The Morning ReadsBlog: themorningreads.comInstagram: @themorningreadsPatreon: patreon.com/themorningreads
