#224: Then vs. Now: The Key To Writing A Strong Retrospective Voice
Retrospective narrators have the power to tell your story with both raw immediacy and hard earned wisdom. This narrator doesn’t just recall the past – he or she reinterprets it.
What makes it tricky is that you’re not just telling the story of what happened. You’re telling it through two lenses:
The younger self who lived it. And the older self who looks back with reflection, wisdom, and maybe even regret.
So in today’s episode, we’ll explore how to unlock the full potential of a retrospective narrator. You’ll learn to craft a voice that harnesses both the younger self and the wiser self.
