Using Story to Highlight Great Food with Kevin Wilson (#115)

Storytelling is a Journey

Kevin says he loves the journey of storytelling. It’s an important skill to develop, he says. The journey of a beginning, a middle and an end is critical.

Whether it’s starting your blog or slowly writing a book, writing consistently is key.

“You can be a terrible writer today and an excellent writer two years from now. It’s kind of like karate. You just have to train.” - Kevin Wilson on developing your skills
