Wraen had never attempted to dissect the structure of her stories or anyone else's, thinking that by focusing on details too much, you missed something more valuable from the bigger picture. Like a person can learn a lot by opening up a corpse and working through muscle after muscle, bone after bone, nerve, vessel, organ after the other, but the true beauty of the being is it being alive and working as a whole. 

"I think that you get good at story-telling just by doing it frequently," Wraen had thought a while, how to convey her lesson better. "There is no right way of, how to do it. Each person has to find it's own," she went on. "There are true artists of description in the trade. They tell you about the meadows and not only you see them before your eyes, you are in them. They tell you about the storm and there you are right in the middle of it," she gave an example.

"Asked to label, what I do... I think I am the introspective kind. I am not good at detailed descriptions of the physical world and motions, however, telling about the inner workings of my character's mind comes easily for me," she explained. And this was true both for her and her player. "I suggest you do it, you keep doing it, even if you have doubts about yourself and pour your heart in it," she said. "In the end all that matters is neither the plot, nor the beauty of your language, but whether your story has a soul."
