numbers numbers

Although numbers can be difficult to keep strait sometimes they can only add depth to a story.

They can help the reader to visualize and understand the story.  Numbers are necessary.

However you can over use numbers, if to many numbers are use the story can be hard to follow and confuse the reader.

When numbers are used correctly to set a scene such as “there where 500 people are Mr. Jack’s birthday party”, can help the reader to better image where the story is taking place.

Statistics can also help make a story better by adding factual, solid information.

The writer must be sure that they are consistent when using number’s in their stories.
