I can't imagine what you'd do at a festival or workshop, but I'm sure storytelling can be learned. Just seems like some people are born storytellers (my grandma), and some aren't. I wish it came easy. I only recently found out there are actual storytelling events. I can’t imagine what you’d do at a festival or workshop, but I’m sure storytelling can be learned.

I just started attempting to tell Andrew bedtime stories and I suck. Have you ever been to a storytelling festival? It's on my to-do list. I admire a good storyteller.

I've never heard that last line about the best stories being re-written... Really good words to live by. Thanks, Patrick.

You can learn that. Go to Barnes and Noble and take your pick. The real fuel is the actual story itself. When you've got something you really wanna say, when you've got a tale you really want to tell, you'll tell it. And nothing will stop you. And by the way, your blogs, your posts.... seems like you're a pretty darn good writer to me. Just pick a story and tell it. Remember the best stories are never written, they're re-written.
