We are in the last 1hr and 40 mins of the online launch of Nursing: A Calling to Care. Celebrated writing coach, author and humanitarian Elaine Wright Colvin weighed in with these comments that I hope someone will find helpful.
"BECOME A GREAT STORYTELLER (like Lauren): An anecdote is a little story, usually one paragraph, that illuminates a point you are trying to make in your article.

Anecdotes improve any article; many editors say they want at least three anecdotes in every article."
