Send us a text"Welcome to The Legacy Project Podcast, where we explore the art of storytelling and the power of sharing your journey with depth and meaning. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re tackling a key aspect of compelling storytelling: how to add detail without overwhelming the reader.Details are what bring a story to life. They make readers feel like they’re right there with you, seeing, hearing, and experiencing the world as you did. But too many details? That’s when stories can become cluttered, bogged down, or even boring. The challenge is knowing which details to include, how much is enough, and when to let the reader’s imagination fill in the gaps.In today’s episode, we’ll explore why details matter, how to choose the right ones, and practical techniques for making your writing vivid without overloading the reader. Whether you’re crafting a memoir, a personal story, or even capturing family history, this episode will help you strike the perfect balance between richness and readability."TheLegacyProject.mePurchase copies of The Legacy Project book at Amazon.comYou can also get a copy of Service Before Self my autobiography at Amazon.com "Start writing.
