The (He)art of Storytelling.

One of life's great joys is losing oneself in a great story.  This is true whether you are 4 or 40 or 80.

That's why storytelling--in both oral and written forms--is common to every culture.  It's the oldest form of entertainment, education, illumination and connection.

An article in the March/April edition of Psychology Today called "The Inside Story" explores the powerful link between effective stories and our brains. 

As writers, if we can harness that power in authentic ways, we can move readers to action.
