storytell - Discussions on the art of storytelling - info Storytell, sponsored by the National Storytelling Network, is a forum of more than 500 subscribers worldwide for discussion about storytelling.

International Storytelling Center The power of storytelling is unquestionable. We are all storytellers and we live our lives through a network of stories. The cornerstone of the International Storytelling Center is a belief in a single, immutable principle of life—storytelling.
National Storytelling Network To further its mission of “bringing together and nurturing individuals and organizations that use the power of storytelling in all its forms,” the National Storytelling Network supports a Member Grants Program through which NSN individual, associate, and affiliate members may apply for funding up to $1,000 to develop new projects. Support is available for the development of individual work, for collaborative projects, for community-based storytelling programs, or for scholarly research. In extending direct support to members through this program, the NSN Board of Directors has several goals. Though the grants available are not large, we hope that they will both enable storytellers to develop new ideas they might not otherwise have time or funds for and increase public outreach and awareness of the power of storytelling. In all grant proposals, we encourage innovative and experimental thinking.

The lost art of handwriting Do you remember learning to write? The first scratch of an HB pencil across the fresh page of a new notebook. Repeating endless cursive letters along wide-spaced, pale blue lines. Looping the tail of a "g", flicking the line up from the end of an "m", arcing it over an "a" or an "o". I loved writing so much during my childhood years that I constantly reinvented my script, dotting my "i"s with little hearts, or switching between a round "a" and one with a little arm above the circle. I filled endless diary pages, sent snail mail to several pen pals, even invented secret symbols to ensure notes passed in the classroom were indecipherable by enemy eyes.
