"Just tell the story"

It actually comes from writing for the screen. Our novelistic and theatrical instincts compel us to fill a page with decorative flourishes demonstrating our creative elan. But our audience is just craving a memorable tale.

Obviously just as applicable to pitching your startup ;)

That’s great advice. I admire pg for pushing for that, both in the YC applications and in his writing.
