I am a storyteller.

How Does Calling Myself A Storyteller Differ from Being A Writer?

August 23, 2022

This is how I think being a storyteller differs from being a writer. Ten months ago, I got a part-time job working for an impressive and amazing entrepreneur. She has multiple business ventures, is a frequent guest on podcasts, webinars, and seminars – and I am pretty certain she never stops coming up with new ideas. And she calls herself a storyteller. When I started to experience just what that meant – it dawned on

Do We Learn More When We Read More?

August 16, 2022

Yes. We learn more when we read more – whether nonfiction or fiction. It never ceases to amaze me how many people do not read. Sure, many of those people will read some stuff online or in an occasional magazine. But books – fiction or nonfiction? No. As a writer – this is deeply disappointing. But like most things in life – this is a choice. And I cannot make choices for anyone at all

Will There Always Be Something New for You and Me to Learn?

August 9, 2022

Yes, there will always be something new to learn. As you are reading this, I am attending a medieval reenactment event. During said event, I am dressed in medieval garb for 7+ days, living out of a canvass pavilion, and going largely offline during this time. (Still need to reach people around the large campsite via text and like means). One of the best things about reenacting the vast time period covered by the organization

August 2, 2022

The line between fact and fiction can be amazingly fluid. Have you ever had an experience so bizarre, that you found yourself looking around for a camera and a crew? Like, for reals, someone is filming this shit, right? Sometimes, as a storyteller, it feels like the line between fact and fiction can get super blurry. Particularly when you have true, actual, factual experiences that read like total fiction. Along this line, I’m going to

Why not begin the first day of your writing career (or other creative pursuits) today?

Can Today Be the First Day of the Rest of Your Writing Career?

July 26, 2022

Keep this in mind when you debate if you should start a writing career and creating – or not. I’ve met a lot of would-be writers over the years. Numerous people who have said in one form or another, wow, I really want to write – or – I have this great idea for a story – or – I’d love to be a writer, but – or similar. Likewise, I’ve encountered this with other

Getting work done is not the end all be all of life.

Getting Work Done is Hard When Your Cat Turns You into a Bond Villain

July 19, 2022

But it is a reminder that breaks from getting work done are good. Sometime during the height of the pandemic, amid working from home full-time and regular Zoom calls, one of our cats decided she needed more regular attention. It started with her jumping on my desk and walking around/nuzzling my monitors. And the purr – oh the purr! But then, she nuzzled me. And insisted on jumping onto my chest. Many a Zoom included
