 End
with a Bang
I start off [my story] with a bang but end up with a
whimper. Not sure what the problem is. Any
suggestions?
The
above is an email I received from one of the

hardest part of telling a tale is to know when and
how to stop! However, there is a very simple method

I decided to go ...
Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I’d been there for ten happy years, and it was me
who pitched up in the first place. I’m now shining a little light elsewhere, and
know the light I left has been re-kindled once more.

Storyteller With A Fish Tale - interview with Peter Adamson
Excerpts ...
Aneeta: I understand that you’re a psychotherapist. Forgive me if my next
question is very basic but I’ve always wondered about this: what is the
difference between a psychotherapist and a psychologist?
Peter: There are no basic questions and this one is very relevant to the
work I do. A psychologist looks at a person or an animal or a group and seeks to
establish what drives them to do display a particular behaviour and also perhaps
measure a particular response to a particular stimulus.

Storyteller, Editor - interview with Amulya Malladi
Excerpts ...
Aneeta: As
you know, this website caters for storytellers. What advice would you
have for those who would like venture into storytelling?
Amulya: I
have the basic two: read and write. I meet writers sometimes who say
they don’t have the time to read and that always strikes me as odd. If
you don’t read how can you write?
And once you do
write the book, I say to you what everyone says: edit, edit, edit, and
then edit some more.

Sagittarius' Child
Excerpts ...
When I was a young
teenager, I was a natural leader of our group of girls who had all become
friends. During our first year in High School, our group was split up over
two different lunch periods with half of us going to the first lunch and half
going to the second lunch. The group of girls who had a different lunch
then my own had found a new hero. They talked about her constantly.
She was smart, funny, exciting, enthusiastic, cheerful, clever, and extremely
extroverted. They sang her praises constantly and being a very insecure
teenage girl, I was a nervous wreck that they would love her more then me and
would no longer look up to me as their leader. I was becoming more and
more insecure that she would kick me off of my pedestal and take all of my
friends away from me.

How to Fight the Fear of
Storytelling in Public
I have been preparing for
the National Storytelling Conference in Denver, and I
received an e-mail from a woman who has been telling all
year at her local schools and events, and even giving
workshops at other storytelling conferences. And, yet,
she expressed anxiety about telling in front of other
storytellers at our many swap sessions. Her concerns led
me to write this article.

Fury
by Salman Rushdie
Excerpts ...
Set in contemporary New York City, the somewhat familiar
character of Professor Malik Solanka has abandoned his
wife and three-year old son without a word, fleeing from
England to NYC in the hope of escaping his rather
enviable life, with all its rather enviable trappings. A
former dollmaker and creator of the phenomenal Little
Brain doll, to which he owes his fortune, and erstwhile
academic, to which he owes his social circles, Solanka
finds himself unable to make peace with neither his
circumstances nor his choices.
