1. Turn off your computer - use post-it notes or a whiteboard to find your story

3. Use a solid structure - He suggests brainstorming using these categories: Ideal, Reality, Problem, Solution, Next Step
4. Have a clear theme - "What is your point"?
5. Remove the non-essential - remember Chekhov's gun. If you write about a gun in chapter 1 it better go off in chapter 2 or 3

7. Show a clear conflict
8. Demonstrate a clear change
9. Do something UNEXPECTED
10. Make them feel something
11. Be authentic, be vulnerable
TED Talks are a great source of videos of well prepared presenters. I'm finding it helpful to watch these video's and thinking about what they are doing that is making them successful.
