Storytellers That Soar On Eagles Wings ~ #2

in #curation6 years ago

Who doesn’t love a good story? Its stories that fill our days, and in a paradoxical kind of a way we create our world and live out our own stories in moments and hours and throughout our days by way of our choices our imaginings, thoughts, intentions and our enormous and endless reservoir of creativity.

It takes creativity, skill, focus and a lot of patience to create a very good story.

A good fiction writer understands, the timing and the pace of the story, the characters must be believable and relatable, sometimes it includes worldbuilding, there must be an opening, a plot a conclusion just to name a few parts of a story.

Overall it has to be a story that answers the question for the reader, “Why should I care and Why should I engage.”.

Your excellent story answers that question and meets the reader’s needs based on the genres or reading styles they love.
Great Storytellers are precious and not always in our midst, so when we happen upon them, we should pause and take notice and honor them by listening to the stories they tell, or by reading the stories they have written.

This genre for me has a different feel than that of poetry because as I curate I am witnessing a longer stream of content and as well content that formulates for the mind words that are less about similes and rhymes and more about actual stories that show us people, places, and subjects that relate more practically in our day to day life.

Or it may be just the opposite and we just need to be entertained and taken away from the world we know or that the stories are so dark they scar the crap out of us and that in itself is a form of entertainment (for some).

The two artist featured are brilliant writers that the world should know about.

I invite you to get to know these tremendously incredible literary artists, support them by way of following, upvoting and resteeming. And do leave a comment to the writers.
