Whose Hat Is This?
The hat dropped, and he
looked at the name on it, wondering if he had an idea who it was for.
The hat previously sat atop someone’s head, surely, and now it had
collected dust, a sign of its tale?—?-it’s been unused for a long time.
It’s had a long journey as someone’s head gear, and now as no one’s.
But
where he found it is a good place to start if he is to find who last
owned it. It was nestled in a corner of the street near a coffee shop.
The coffee shop itself had long been in that location, and is a local
favorite. And for tales, the coffee shop had it’s share of many, some
documented, some told, some swept under the carpet, some not to be
uttered.
Well, the hat’s interesting and it’s not
too far from the coffee shop. What can be had by finding a connection
between the two. What can be known about the last owner from going
through the shop’s many tales?
Engaged with that
thought, Jack, stayed a while and took in the moment, and thought some
more. He has to know who this man is, and how the hat ended up where he
found it…
Are you still reading? Are you wondering what’s going on? Or what’s going to happen?
Well,
there’s the power of a story, and the title of the guide tells why I
wrote this. The power of stories have been long documented by many other
people throughout history. But for this short guide, let’s focus on
it’s power to open your book, to act as a door to your book, to usher in
your reader, to be your first few words, your opening lines, your first
paragraph, essay, or chapter.
That’s what I want to delve into with this guide.
If
you've ever thought about using stories to start your book, blog
posts,essays, and other writing pieces, this guide will introduce you to
a number of ideas on how to do exactly that.

Okay, I am a believer, a son, and a "make good things happen" kind of guy. I also write and build things from time to
time.
Three quick things:
1., If you believe that one person
with goodwill can make a difference, then we are in league.
2., If you
believe that the bleakest of days---when you feel down and out---are not
the end, then we are buddies.
3., if you believe that our Maker
above will come to the aid of anyone seeking to create value with a mind
to serve others, then we are siblings. Thanks for stopping by.

backyard. And the gains could be life-changing.
Read about my
experience, the pointers I give, and get armed to get out there and give
it a shot. And don't be surprised to surprise yourself along the way,
pick up some skills, and come away with a story to tell. It all begins
with the first step.
