I just wanted to add that I think it is also very engaging to ask question(s). I enjoy sometimes being forced to answer a question about myself, my business, my experiences, etc. often it gives you a new angle on things or helps you recognize something you may have neglected.

Bret,

Thanks for the advice. I guess I had a lot of latent frustration built up from a lifetime of wondering how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. I had to release my anger somewhere.

Upon re-reading, it does seem like a leap from Greek Mythology to Mr. Owl. Chalk it up to an A.D.D. moment.

You could have #4′d the Tootsiepopize. Otherwise, great advice….as usual. If you would write more often……

Dood, you totally fooled me with tip number three!! Had you not mentioned it, I would’ve been none the wiser. I’ll make sure not to spoonfeed my readers cause I’d really like it if they came back for more every time.

Dustin,
I take it back. I do have two smart brothers. Love your comments. I am going to share it with a friend of mine from church. She is writing a book about “keeping up with Jesus in a world of Jones’)

Gina,
Hint: See tip #4. :)

Giselle,
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed the article. As creatives, we often appreciate our own imaginations, but we fail to acknowledge the imaginations of our audience. Let’s leverage that in our craft.

Fantastic article Dustin. The concept of spoon-feeding the audience has become commonplace. I love when authors, and filmmakers acknowledge, that their audience is intelligent. Allowing a story to unfold and develop is truly Tantalizing!
