Episode 001: Welcome to Storyteller

GENERAL

I have never liked calling myself a 'writer'. It always seemed so limited. Sure, I do write words on a page both figuratively and literally - but I have never felt like that is where it ends. It's only one piece of the puzzle.

Yeah, this is a horrible introduction.

Look, for a book, putting words to a page may be enough. There's a science and a craft to it, but at the end words on a page is all that's required there. There are other tales we come across, though, aren't there? Audiobooks, movies, shows, games - these all have stories... They are stories, too. They use more than words to tell them, don't they?

That in-between is what I'm all about. I'm fixated on the whole package. The detail. How a camera angle helps tell the tale in a given scene or how music adds what words can't when a player has to choose what button to press or even which colors are used in the presentation of a flashback. All these things are part of telling the story.

I want to be more than a writer. I want to be involved in the presentation of it to the audience through various methods. I want to build and create experiences with these stories.

And I want to use some space here to explore it. That's where it's at. Whether rambling about details in our own stories or looking into the makings of other regarded tales.

So... Thanks for joining me. My name is Mileposter - and I'm a storyteller.
