Welcome. On this page, I will
endeavour to provide a list of all the resources I can find about storytelling.
There are some sites which seem a little 'dated' - i.e. where the information

Chicken Soup for
the Soul® Story
1. Tell an
exciting, sad or funny story about something that has happened to you or
someone you know. Make sure that you introduce the character(s).
2. Tell your
story in a way that will make the reader cry, laugh or get goose bumps
(the good kind!) Don’t leave anything out — how did you feel?
3. The story
should start with action; it should include a problem, issue or
situation. It should include dialogue and the character should express
their feelings though the conflict or situation. It should end in a
result, such as a lesson learned, a positive change or pay-off.
4. Above
all, let it come from your HEART! Your story is important!
