I don't consider myself to be a 'writer' in the classic sense of the word. My mechanics need some serious overhauling; my vocabulary is rusty. I DO consider myself to be a storyteller. I believe that there is a difference between a writer and a storyteller. Don't ask me to explain it, I just do The 3 greatest storytellers in my life: Ray Bradbury Steven King My Grandfather, R W Newsome My grandfather could weave a story so good, you could feel what was happening ELS |
FYI - yes, I do lean towards horror and the unknown. But I have found out that what can really send a chill up the spine is telling a story of what could happen (real people/situations). I ask you what seems more frightening: an imaginary creature...or the quiet old man down the street that is actually a killer? ELS |
