Just Thinking

What Storytelling is and is not

First of all storytelling is not stand-up comedy. Stand-up comedy is a quick set-up and punch line with an anticipation of a laugh. Storytelling may have elements of comedy, but its purpose is to develop a plot line and have interaction with characters developed to a conclusion. The comedy is not the reason for the story.

Storytelling is not a narrative, a recitation of some thing memorized. Storytelling is the remembering and telling of a particular thing that… Continue

Cd Project with Buck Creacy

When I decided to do this project, I started out assimilating stories I wanted to use. After a few false starts I realized I needed help to make this CD a success. I had e-mailed and talked with Buck several times about a story I was working on. He did a good job of "coaching" me for a particular event for which I was doing the story. I didn't know that Buck produced storytellig CDs, when I read the back cover of "Three Penny Moma" I realized he had talent as a producer, so I called him and here… Continue

I hear that you and Buck have a project in the works. Let me tell you from experience that you'll be glad you had the chance to do so. He has helped me along more than I could ever say. He's so knowledgeable of our craft and will generously share. He is honest and straight forth. He'll tell you if it's bad, good, a keeper or one to throw away. He has helped me develop a couple of stories and they have almost become my strongest tales. I have a great deal of respect for him. He's a wonderful friend, too.

Take care,
Pam

P.S. Tell him all the nice things I said about him and I'll be forced to deny every one of them!!
