on Live Write Thrive:
When people hear the word “writing”, most think typing, maybe aching hands, but that’s the process. Not the product. In writing classes and seminars, experts told you to “write narratives using effective technique, pithy details, and well-structured event sequences.” Nowhere did they specify the tool to be used. Traditionally, writers accomplished these worthy goals with words, paragraphs, pages, and chapters.
But why?
Consider this scenario: You are required to draw a picture that describes the horrors of war, but you’re a lousy artist. The best you can do is stick figures and red flames. Or you feel a story nibbling at your brain, but your special needs prevent you from typing. You give up, decide you can’t write.
A great post from Jacqui about other ways to tell stories. Worth trying some of these.

If you know someone who loves stories but not writing, these are great options for unleashing their creativity.

Great storytelling often makes me think of summer camp and sitting around a campfire with twenty other gaping kids. Lol. I love writing, but that’s still my favorite. 🙂
