Weekly response, week 3 (book)

A lot of things amaze me in this book. First is the way Bob Dotson understand the use of surprising. I used to think that it's much more complicated but the truth is: a catchy phrase, an unusual description people don't expect can make the story.
The recommendation to write in three was also a complete surprise to me. I've always done it unconsiously but never knew that it's an actual rule. This is one of my favorite tricks in writing.
I've always struggled with whether I should write more or less in conversational style. Mr. Dotron strongly recommends it due to the necessarity to establish some kind of contact with each reader and conversational style makes it easier.
