Is your blog post lacking
a certain something?
Anecdotes are a great
way to capture your
reader’s attention and
enhance your posts.

As with most things,
there are things to keep
in mind when using
anecdotes.
But…

1 Don’t use anecdotes as
filler.
![Page 6: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Anecdotes are meant to
enhance your posts.
Don’t use them to stretch
your word count to some
artificial number.
![Page 7: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
2 Start in the middle of
your story.
![Page 8: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Start your anecdote at its
peak.
Jump right into the funny
or exciting part.

3 Be descriptive.
![Page 10: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
They say a picture is
worth a thousand words.
Paint a mental picture
for your readers.
![Page 11: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
4 Add adversity.
Inject some levity into
your blog.
![Page 12: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Adversity comes in
many forms, but they
each have one thing in
common:
They give us something
to overcome.
![Page 13: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5 Keep it short.
![Page 14: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Don’t go on and on and
on with your anecdotes.
Keep them concise.
Short even.
![Page 15: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
6 Use the five senses.
![Page 16: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
What did you see? How
did it feel? What did you
hear? How did it taste?
What did you smell?
Make your readers feel
like they’re there.
![Page 17: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
7 Don’t overuse them.
Too much of a good thing
is still too much.
![Page 18: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Too many anecdotes in a
single story will annoy
your readers.
Use them sparingly.

8 Practice, practice, and
practice.
![Page 20: An interesting anecdote could be the antidote for your failing blog post](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052505/555098e5b4c9058b208b47d0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
As with all aspects of
writing, writing good
anecdotes takes time
and practice.
You’ll get the hang of it.
