Are you a good storyteller?

As long as my fingers are on the keyboard and it is not up to my lips!

I have been known to spin a yarn or two in my time. I am currently writing one in my on line blog. I will also be posting some I have already written very soon.

Eventually.

Once upon a time, there was a drunk man that asked me for a quater, so i gave him a dollar and ate it.

The End

Storytelling has never been a strong point for me lol

er..uh..um...welll.. er..ye...er...yes

If the environment and he situation calls for, I can be a good storyteller.

glad you asked, once upon a time...

Probably the listeners are the best ones to ask about that. All I know is I enjoy telling stories. Nothing fantastical. I know people who can make up a yarn and go for days. Likely these are the same who could write short stories or fiction movels. Not me! lol

For me, it's stories of everyday events. I can somehow make a mundane visit to the grocery store into an adventure in the retelling of it afterwards. Give me other life experiences .. a trip .. an event .. and I can bring it to life verbally for someone afterwards.

A good storyteller? All I know is I enjoy telling stories .. based on true events. I hope I can make that work for me one day in what's called "creative non-fiction" ... in ancestor profiles, family history, memoir or any number of human interest pieces. Theses are all examples of needing to be "factual" (non-fiction) but have to give it a story "arc" so there's some rhyme or reason for others to engage with it .. care .. think and feel .. maybe even "do something" at the end.

Short answer: I don't know. I hope so.
Medium answer: Best to ask those who have listened to my "adventures" after a trip or something. I hope I can leverage what I do naturally verbally into written forms.
Long answer: See all of the above! LOL

Very. But few and far between are modern audiences who have the ear -- or the patience -- needed to appreciate and participate in a genuine oral epos. And since I doubt I'll ever find myself among the Kirgiz or Bantu, I s'pose I'll not have the opportunity to prove myself. Sigh....

One of my most descriptive talents.

Yes, I spent my youth engaging in adventures. Now that I am a little older I have a huge wealth of stories to draw upon. I have honed them to a crisp point. I refined the word selection. I have refined the timing. I know how long they will take to tell and choose which I want to share based on how much of the common stage I have.

Yes when grasping an climatic tone, that descends as well.
