One of the most important things you can do as a storyteller is to discipline yourself to keep telling stories and also to listen to stories. Stay open to exploring and learning new things.
It has been said that if you want to learn how to write, then write.
If you want to learn how to do something then do it and through practice and disciplining yourself to continue to develop that skill means doing the thing that it is that you want to get better at.
I have to laugh at myself sometimes because I have this blog and as of yet I have no followers but I'm not doing it to have followers, this blog is about me disciplining myself to keep up a blog.
As I develop my skills as a story teller & blogging about story telling it brings a focus to how I engage with the world around me. I am cognasant of messages, searching for their cultural origins, and peeling back layers in order to learn how to apply those symbols for the specified meaning. This is the aim of communication, clearity, this requires practice.
So while the world may bombard you with a plethora of messages, most of which conflicting, you may cut through the red tape jargon and know the true meaning.
