Since being introduced to "How To Tell A Great Story
(7th edition)" and becoming a 'Great Story Telling Network' newsletter
subscriber, I have laughed, been amazed, and always satisfied with the
information provided. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to improve
their own story telling skills. While out on book signings, the most asked
question is, "How do I go about telling my story?" I always recommend
"How To Tell A Great Story."

Rest in Peace (2)
Spreading information about the death of a loved one to relations can
(sometimes) be a painful and difficult job among Christians in the Southern
states of Nigeria.
In Part 1 of this series, we gave a number of reasons why this is so,
and the hesitation to break the news even though such job is accompanied
by plenty of storytelling. The bottom line is that the direct survivor
of the deceased is always the last person to know of the death of a
loved one, sometimes, several months later.

Storytellers Nuts
and Bolts |
Writing Numbers
How do you write numbers? This is a common question asked by many
writers. The answer depends on what field you’re working in or what style guide
you need to follow. Arabic numerals are generally used in commercial,
mathematics, statistics, science, or technical fields. Other works like literary
or humanistic mostly use numbers written out in words.

Teacher, Storyteller - interview with Richard Martin
Excerpts ...
Aneeta: What do you consider to be an important aspect of storytelling?
Richard: One of the most important aspects of storytelling for me is the
performance situation: practice beforehand is fine, but only with listeners can
the magic be generated.
Secondly, this magic is what keeps storytellers telling. In workshops with
teachers I give a health warning and tell them that storytelling is like sex and
drugs: once you start – oh, it is very hard to stop!
Thirdly, respect the listeners and also the story.

Scorpio's Child
Excerpts ...
Scorpios get a lot of bad
press. They are vindictive, mean, and obsessed with sex. That’s not
really fair. Scorpio rules the house of sharing. They are the
stewards of sharing money, resources, love, and yes sharing each other’s bodies.
It is their deepest most spiritual need to be completely connected, loved, and
sharing from the depth of their soul. It is from this place that they are
so easily hurt. Wounded Scorpios are a force to be reckoned with and yes,
they are famously ruthless and cruel. How do you keep your own Scorpio
child from becoming obsessive and mean?

Vashtu Sastra Guide
by T. Selva
Excerpts ...
Vasthu Sastra Guide
is a non-fiction piece of work. In the author’s own
words:
Although the awareness of Vasthu Sastra is increasing
daily worldwide, I found that many people lacked
understanding of the effective application of Vasthu
Sastra rules on their properties. This prompted me to
write this book to enhance the understanding of Vasthu
Sastra.
