Am I asking the right questions?

When All Is Said and Done Am I Asking the Right Questions?

September 6, 2022

That depends on the situation and the questions asked. Storytelling has been my passion pretty much all my life. Informally, I started telling stories when I was very, very small. I still remember – when I was probably 4 years old – sitting at the windowsill in our living room. But in my imagination – it was the pilot’s seat for my starship. The window was the viewport to the wonders of the galaxy I

Challenges Artists, Writers, and Other Creatives Know All Too Well

10 Challenges Artists, Writers, and Other Creatives Know All Too Well

August 30, 2022

Most creatives I’m familiar with know these challenges all too well. Are you Neil Gaiman, Beyoncé, Banksy, Alex Guarnaschelli, or any other recognizable creative celebrity? I’m going to presume the answer is no (however, if yes, thanks for reading!) Unless you have reached a level of recognizable success as a creative – be it writer, painter, chef, singer, sculptor, woodworker, and so forth – you have many challenges and struggles. Before they were recognized as

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

How Many Ways Can the Line Between Fact and Fiction Be Blurred?

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
