Coffee & Danish: for crafting an ultimate story for a lifestyle magazine.


Before we dive into the topic, I assure you that you should be a member of this ‘gen-z’ community and by all means sit with coffee & Danish while writing this particular blog. Imagine this, you are sitting here right beside me in Starbucks sipping on a perfectly brewed latte and eating the smallest crust of flaky Danish pastry. 


Hey fellow creative heads, I hope you are not high on caffeine or in a sugar rush because what I am about to take you on is a journey where this combination together filters out the ultimate story for a lifestyle magazine.


Seeing this generation firsthand, I realized that we aren't a generation of followers, we are the generation of crafters. As this generation quotes in slang, “It's so basic”, similarly this generation wishes to be surprised. A similar trait gives rise to amazing lifestyle content originating out of the most amusing circumstances, places, and combinations.


The question might remain, why is this combination brought with lifestyle magazines and their storytelling? Well, combination defines a way of life. Firstly, it can set a particular standard of living defined by affordability. This affordability can signify a high-end lifestyle and hence a similar effect on the content.


On the other hand, and quite metaphorically it can mean the pleasure of life. It can define the moment of pause, slowing down, savoring the moment, and retaining what gives you joy. The action also signifies a good balance between the moment of bliss while using it as a freshening mode to write a narrative. 


But how do we translate this into storytelling? Easy and most obviously the direct reflection of joy and way of living. The combination being in its simplest form and yet being a huge part of our routine sets the standards that way. Other than that, the thoughts evoked in the fresh state of mind and directly transferred on the paper can bring out a lot of smart references and eventually a good amount of audience to find relatability in. Moving ahead along the lines of relatability, we Gen-Zers look out and reach out for something that resonates with us. 


Now, let's talk about the importance of these elements in lifestyle magazines. As Gen-Zers, we crave authenticity and relatability in the content we consume. Coffee and Danish represent authenticity – they're simple, yet meaningful aspects of our daily lives that we can all relate to. By incorporating these elements into our storytelling, we create narratives that speak directly to our audience, capturing their attention and sparking their imagination.


In conclusion, it's this deadly yet simple combination that brings out the spice yet sugar to storytelling. The drafting of creativity and influence is so immense, that a writer might easily ask for the same combination on repeat while papering the metaphor of the same. So what are you waiting for, the seat beside me remains empty, grab the influential combination and reflect its impact on the paper.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!

I am Nishka, the person behind the blog. Here are some traits about me and my memoir:-

1. a young adult embedded with ambitions.

2. more or less persuading her childhood practice of journaling into a full fledge content writing.

3. opinionated yet prudent and rational.

4. choosing to write over overthinking to utter the contemplation and let the readers ally with it.

I hope this background is sufficient to enjoy my blogs!

Let the posts
come to you.

Thanks for submitting!
