Often, we make a story longer than is needed. Building up to what it is we wish to say, audience loses interest and never finds what it is we wish to tell.
Get to the point. Tell what matters. Meaning hangs on the crux.
The story of Creation is told in a single chapter comprised of thirty-one sentences. God’s Creation of man, one chapter of twenty-five; man’s fall—one chapter of twenty-four.
Granted, man has sought infinitesimally to revise and improve—elaborate—these stories in further lengths and greater details; but such stories are proof of the point—they are rarely read. Fewer care.
Get to the point. Tell what matters. Meaning hangs on the Crux.
It is the simple story that endures, eternally.
