Magic Numbers

Numbers in stories are very important. It not only adds credibility to the story but it also specifies the abstract.


It makes the statement more powerful when it has a number on it.  When using words that relate to numbers like, “a lot” or “many”, people have different interpretations of what those numbers are. 


“Many” to some people might not be the same to others so in some cases, numbers are necessary.


However it is not good to use numbers a lot in stories because it can confuse the readers. When using a lot of numbers in the story, people can lose the point of the article ad be hung up on the numbers themselves.
