Tell the Story You Want to Tell – WordPress.com

WordPress.com News
Jeremy Anderberg
In August, the WordPress community gathered at National Harbor, Maryland for WordCamp 2023. Every year, the conference hosts special speakers to talk about all kinds of things—from the technical to the inspirational.
One of our favorite talks this year was from sci-fi and fantasy author Ken Liu, in which he explores the profound role of storytelling in human life.
Liu conveys the idea that stories serve as a means to understand and communicate our values, emphasizing the importance of connection, playfulness, rootedness, empowerment, and self-definition. The power of story leads to the embodiment of one’s values, which allows us to pass along those values through lived experiences.
Ultimately, Liu teaches us how to embrace this power and rewrite our own narratives. We were so inspired by the talk that we wanted to share it with all of you! Watch the video in its entirety below:

I would like to say one thing, that as idea behind writing is to express yourself sometimes artistically, indirectly,,, I think we need to focus on readers who should read seriously before liking any of blog or post,, I feel mostly readers just like it before even reading,, sometimes the content maybe contrary to what they have to say,,

I feel writing is a way to express ourselves. I write for myself, however, I am grateful for those who enjoy what I have to say. I am also grateful for WordPress for allowing me this opportunity.

Wow that is interesting. I think WordPress is teaching me to express my thoughts I have never thought I would do. There are so many great writers out there with amazing skills.

I started writing on WordPress today, my goal is to help people know themselves and enjoy their lives, I know life isn’t easy and going through the hard times alone is much worse, I want to give them hope and support and I want to get them out of their darkness. God bless you all❤🍃

The relevance of a mouse scroll test in the context of “Tell the Story You Want to Tell” can be understood as a metaphorical or symbolic representation of controlling the narrative or message you wish to convey.
In storytelling, whether it’s in writing, film, or any other medium, the way you present the story is crucial. It’s akin to scrolling through a webpage or document where the user has the power to control what they see and when they see it. Likewise, a storyteller or content creator has the power to guide their audience’s attention and understanding by choosing how the story unfolds.
