Some Good Reasons to "Weave My Tale"

Think of this as Practice!

I believe everyone has multiple stories inside of them just waiting to get out, and the goal of Weave My Tale is to help writers find catalysts that will cause unformed stories to emerge--stories that are buried deep within the fertile soil of their unconscious minds. What a better place to inspire your creative catalysts than by participating in a living, breathing story fueled by the opinions and life experiences of so many other writers. The experts say that to write good stories writers need to glean inspiration by reading as many stories as possible and by experiencing as much of life as possible. Weave My Tale attempts to combine the two practices together by telling the same story a hundred different ways by a hundred different writers, each with different life experiences.

Another but equally important part of this process is the experience of story telling that is so similar to how great tales of the past were spread and created orally, slightly changing and adjusting over time as each story teller added a little of themselves to the telling. Not only is the idea of this exciting, but imagine the learning curve of testing each story telling decision you make against the collective input of your writing piers. The benefit this will have for your own writing can only be impressive.

And finally, hopefully you enjoy The Preacher's Son.  If you get nothing more out of it then that, Weave My Tale has accomplished one of it's goal, to get the story out of your host's mind and into a format for people to enjoy. 

Thanks for following!
