ARTICLES FOR STORYTELLERS |
Run Your Own Race-At
Your Own Pace
On Thanksgiving Day,
dawn spills over
Dana Point Harbor
where thousands of
runners gather for
the annual Turkey
Trot. The largest
holiday race in
California beckons
folks of all ages,
sizes, shapes, and
abilities. Waiting
at the starting line
for the 10-K, I talk
to a Dad and his 7
year- old daughter.
Around me, I hear
bravado talk about
marathons,
triathlons, hard
bodies and zippo fat
content. Thankfully,
I spy silver haired
folks with knee
braces, a young
couple with babies
in jogging strollers
and runners decked
in costumes ranging
from Santa Claus to
Elvis Presley.
Running in a gold
polyester jump suit,
and pompadour wig
while carrying a
boom box blaring
Elvis tunes will be
some trick. Me-I
just want to finish.

Summer of Storytellers - interview with Summer Morris
Excerpts ...
Aneeta: I am aware that what I am about to ask you may be difficult, but
I’d ask you to consider it anyway – do you think that you use storytelling
techniques in the work you do?
Summer: Definitely. As I mentioned briefly in the process of creating, I
like to think that designing is much like storytelling. I find myself become
quite attached to elements of any work that I produce. Colors, especially,
affect my mood and my creativity and in turn the piece that I create. Much like
the characters in books, I often reminisce about designs that I’ve created in
the past and try to use them to my advantage in creating something new. The
elements of design are so important when attempting to get the point across.
Without careful organization and planning on a designer’s part, the message
could become skewed and the end result confusing.

 Here's
My Card (2)
The importance
people attach to your cards is a direct measure of how they value that card.
And this in turn is a reflection of the story your card tells.
Many of the cards
you give, are either thrown away, lost, or tucked away in office drawers or
wardrobes at home, never to be retrieved. Why? Many reasons. The principal
one is that there is no discipline in handling cards.

Cheating the Ferryman
Harold had served in the war. He had escaped from
enemy custody more often in fact than in the fertile imagination of a Hollywood
script writer. When he was a young lad, he passed the scholarship exam to a
highly prestigious school, but never got there.

 How
to break the habit of writing bad English
In 1946, George Orwell published an essay,
Politics and the English Language. Although the
essay has a political slant, storytellers who would like to learn the
art of storytelling should read this article in its entirety. The essay
shows how people develop a bad writing habit and how to break this
habit. What I have done, in this article, is to pick out the most
relevant bits of what Mr. Orwell wrote and highlight them for you:

Aries' Child
Excerpts ...
Aries is the sign of the
entrepreneur. Think of those traits that make up a successful
entrepreneur… they are bright and hard working, most comfortable working as a
one man show, love to be the first to discover and present things to the world,
and rarely allow others to dominate them. Now imagine these traits in a
child. Your Aries child will most likely be energetic, innovative, and
will have a deep desire to be #1 in life. Aries children remind me of a
cross between Leos and Capricorns. They often have Leo’s need for the
limelight and Capricorn’s workaholic nature. Like Leos, Aries are fire
signs and are therefore very dynamic personalities with no desire whatsoever to
be bossed around. While goats symbolize Capricorn, rams symbolize Aries.
Both are strong climbers and will butt heads with you when provoked.

To have and to hold by Philipp Blom
In a nutshell, reading Philipp Blom's book is time well
spent. At first, the sight of beetles and insects on its
cover is not only disconcerting but also not at all
appetising.
However the
full title of the book, To Have and To Hold: An Intimate History of
Collectors and Colelcting, takes the reader inot the private world
of people whose lives are so connected with the idea of collecting stuff
that you're instantly hooked .
