I have found using storyboards a very good way of getting people to abandon reading the story. There are a number of other ways... like getting people to look at the skeletons of the story... and then look at the flesh of the story. I once took a ...

Buck P Creacy said… - Hello Al;
What a great site PS has become and what a great community of tellers. Forgive me for being so late in greeting you. My heart decided to throw a little surprise party at the emergency room... not a heart attack just Pericarditis (non-lethal... only painful condition). I am recovering nicely, was able to go ahead and get married and move. So you might forgive my late greeting. Hope you join some of the groups... mine will pick back up as I get more settled into our new routines. Anyway... welcome to PS and I hope you learn to love it and this wonderful collection of tellers as much as I do.

Pam Holcomb said… - Hi Al:
Welcome to the Biblical Storytellers! It has a great bunch of folks. I can't imagine an effective minister that isn't gifted in storytelling. After all look who was the greatest storyteller of all time - Jesus! He left us many fine examples with his parables.
The best advice I could give you is to tell every chance you get. I tell to the children at my chuch once a month. The kids love it, it gives the teachers a break and they love it, and I love it. It's really good fun. The month of August, I told "You Are Special" by Max Lucado. It's a great book - and series.
Please keep me informed. I look foward to becoming friends with you through this wonderful website.

I don't think I'm recovered from the time change yet - it's 12 am and I'm still bright eyed!
