Thanks so much for posting our events on your blog! I just had fun blogging (www.tucsoncitizen.com/stories) about a Storytelling for Writers class I’m giving at Casa Libre. I learned that there’s a lot that’s the same and a whole lot that’s different between storytelling and storywriting.
Penny,
You are welcome. I admire what you are doing. Storytelling is a basic part of our humanity. It holds us together. Let me know what else I can do for you. Randy
