K. Sean Buvala Storyteller.net: Who Was Searched the Most?

Just did some research at http://www.storyteller.net pages. In October, Kansas storyteller Priscilla Howe had the most "hits" of any storyteller on Storyteller.net. Nearly 400 page views of her page and of those, 198 started on her page. That means, they were looking specifically for what she offers through name, location or content. More tellers should have premium… Continue

Odds Bodkin Hello, Layne, the Philosoph

It's a fairly straightforward thing to tell a story. You open your mouth, and if you're not tongue-tied, out it comes in one way or another. However, it's quite a different thing to cycle across Continental America on a flimsy looking contraption that in a Mary Poppins film would take off in a good breeze, and still tell stories. Especially when you're filled with so much novel imagery of America, having expended so many BTU's. So, Layne, congratulations on your Crazy Guy on a Bike adventure t… Continue

Odds Bodkin Angelina Jolie, My “Grendel’s Mother” is Uglier

For those of you who enjoyed Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf, a rollicking good film adaptation of the old English poem––I certainly did (I watched it twice)––my 1-hour storyteller’s version of Beowulf may surprise you. Firstly, Ms. Jolie is much prettier than I am, but then again, I’m a man, and the “Grendel’s Mother” that screams from the fens in my version of the story isn’t pretty anyway, or supposed to be. Quite the opposite, in fact. Like Grendel himself, she’s much closer to an im… Continue

K. Sean Buvala Your Storytelling Marketing: Oyster and Egg

If you are going to succeed in marketing, then you need to know the difference between oysters and eggs. Do you know this Aesop fable? "Once a dog was walking along a beach, daydreaming of eggs, his favorite food. As he walked along, he caught site of a small oyster and assumed that this round item, too, was an egg. He gobbled it up. Later that night, as he was troubled by stomach pain, he thought, "I deserve this pain for thinking that every round thing is an egg." Folks who move into… Continue

Astorymouse The perfect rock...

Long ago, in the time before time itself, a large round rock lay in the middle of a forest. The rock was huge, its surface was smooth, and when the rain fell on its top, it rang like a deep bell. Growing all around this rock was a myriad of flowers, all colours, all shapes, all sizes. A carpet of colour fit… Continue

Denis Gessing COME TOGETHER

Howdy: In my ongoing effort to extend the reach of storytelling, I have an invite (read challenge?) or proposal if you will. I would like you to post a short (10-15 min) story "part". Either the whole story, just the beginning, something from the middle or the end. Readers can then either tell that same story with their slant, or finish the story from their perspective. How's the same story told by a 60 year old man from the U.S. differ when told from the perspective of, say a 16 year old girl f… Continue

Anthony Burcher HEAINTRIGHT.WEBS.COM FINDS ANOTHER NEW PLACE FOR TELLERS TO TELL

This summer I found a new, unique place to tell. A documentary company here in VA was doing a documentary on the many late nite horror movie hosts we have had here in VA. They came up with an excellent title: VIRGINIA CREEPERS. They advertised they were looking for folks with "STORIES"!!! As fate would have it, I do have a personal story about meeting one of these guys, THE BOWMAN BODY, perhaps VA's most endeared horror movie host. Important note: I did not make the final cut, my story was too l… Continue
