About Me:
Story is what makes the world real. I have studied story all my life. Now, in my ripening age, I like to tell the stories I have written as an author and drawn as an artist and learned from the oral tradition of storytellers.
Stories take us around and around. And more to come.

http://www.bobbiestoryportfolio.com---> to show my illustrations

I tell Hindu, Buddha, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Southeast myths, legends, and folks tales at Asia Art Museum in San Francisco. This Museum is where, I earned my Doctorate in Storytelling (from where stories came); my Master (how to tell a story) earned at the Dominican University in San Rafael, CA; my Bachelor at SCBWI, the Society of Children's Writers and Illustrators, (how to compost, write and illustrate the 'good' creative story) and my teaching degree for Colorado University at Boulder. So now I'm into the online, web --> an new and expending experience, as the digital camera, the ipods, and the new mobile phones. Once was the radio!

Why did I become a storyteller? C:--}
WOW! I had finish 9 years of professional gardening, sick, too much mulch and too many pesticides in the ground! As I was healing, resting. A questioned floated into my mind. "What is the last thing, ever! ever! would I do?" I was quick to answer, "Of course, stand up and tell a story in front of an audience." After years of workshops and conferences in SCBWI and CWC, I could write a story with a beginning-middle-ending, with a plot that answered a question or problem, having a character that drove the action and dialogue forward. I could storyboard the story and painting the illustrations. Through this preparation I leaned to write and spell in acceptable English (my third language, visual image is my first, audio is my second). However, the editors in New York had not selected me as an author or illustrator of children's books. SO, after years of studying story, I was to stand up and tell my stories. OH DEAR! I could not read out loud in school, how was I going to tell a story in front of an audience? Luckily, there was a school of storytelling at Dominican in San Rafael. I went and took courses. The best of the best that could happen for me, I can stand up and tell a story. Traveling to many wonderful places and meeting the most wonderful people. Now, I'm learning how to put myself in the the web system.

Bobbie,

I never thought of archiving the Story Bag. Guess I figured with the Internet out there, everyone could find all the info they needed about storytelling.

Glad to hear about publicizing the storyteller as performer in SF.

Bobbie, I had the help of my wife and the web host makes it easy with templates and other helps.
I would love to tell Ghost Stories in a botanical garden. What was the audience like? (can I come next year?)
Keep telling and keep in touch

Hey Bobbie,
Yes, I saw that you were the pr chair person for the Bay Area Festival this year. And you seemed to be pulling off considerably more press scores than I remember from the past, including the "pink" section of the Chron, which always seems to be difficult to get into. Way to go.

Thanks to all of you who have become my friends in this network of inspiring roads. I did leave messages to those storytellers I know, but of course, since this is a new vehicle on a new road, I forgot to push the 'Add Comment' and so my respect was not recorded. I will travel the same road again and paste on another note on your post.
