"Writers vs Storytellers "
2 Comments - Show Original Blog

Well-said, Linda!

Michael, I find that you are blindly making assumption about storytellers. It is not based on facts and/or results from researches. It is dangerous and ignorant for one to assume something not based on facts.

I am an author for several children's books, and I am also a storyteller. My books are error free, and I also tell stories in libraries.

I also paint and draw for the illustrations inside my own books. I take pride in my work and am a happy storyteller.

Thank you Michael for your wonderful blog... I am a Storyteller....and I don't mind all the tough descriptions, assessments given to me... I love to write. I love being able to not follow the rules, to just open the doors wide open and write whatever I want! I love painting the characters in the colors that I see, and not worrying about whether it's the appropriate shade of mauve, or should be more of a crimson... My previous editor told me,"Your book is not a literary masterpiece".... duh! I can spell and punctuate with the best of them....but....I love my dots and dashes and sentences running together, just as I speak... the fact that I have a 144 IQ means I'm not stupid;however...there are many over educated morons in this world...so...I prefer to write, and tell my stories...the way I want to tell them! Will I be rich from my writing? Doubt it..however; there is such a thing as miraculous happenings....so...I just write and love what I do! Thank you...
hugs, lindalaw
