Thanks Carol, you are so right on! "Knowing when to stop" is not my forte, for in this regard I confess and offer an honest mea culpa.
It's quirky, I know, but I find it's much easier to gauge when it's time for others to stop, whether in writing or in public speaking and preaching, than to get it right myself. (Hmm, you know already who leaves the most wordy comments in this blog . . .) ~~+~~
Hi, Peter, I love your 'wordy comments'. They make this effort worthwhile. Thanks again for the feedback.
I love Victorian movies too, Carol, the costuming, conservatism and regality.
Your post took me back to my teaching training in Trinidad...my professor used a sitcom as an example. That we should look at how all the ends are tied succinctly at the end and apply this model to our lessons. One class period was 40-45 minutes long with double at triples at Advanced Level classes. And highest praise to Peter, who is not only the wordiest (and probably lost the title to mine in recognizing him in this comment) but encourages and supports every blogger.
Hi, Susan. Thanks for your comments. Using a movie or sitcom is an excellent model for so much of our writing.I taught Training Techniques at a local college and also held a role as a corporate trainer. One thing that doesn't show up textbooks is asking for a list of expectations from participants at the beginning of training sessions and returning to this list at the end. Adults (and young people) like to have input on training content. Are you still teaching?
An astute observation about ending stories. I shared it with a fellow Toastmaster when we talked over her recent speech for a competition at the club. We can go on too long and tell when we've also shown. Thanks for sharing.
