Storytelling is almost the oldest art in the world, the first conscious form of literary communication. In many cultures it still survives, and it is not an uncommon thing to see a crowd at a street corner held by the simple narration of a story. There are signs of a growing interest in this ancient art, and we may yet live to see the renaissance of the storyteller and the troubadour.

Some draw charts. Somebegin telling the story at once. However you do it, you must absorb the story until it becomes second nature. Find the best way for you. | |
