I used to tell strange, wild, improbable tales akin to ghost stories, and discovered a taste for spinning yarns.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a fisherman who likes to observe and tell yarns, and so I told stories about things that I knew about.
My stories are often a little mysterious.
I've always liked telling stories. That probably came from my dad, who definitely had the gift of gab and who wove a kind of personal folklore about his youth - stories full of adventure and ghosts and wild antics.
I have always been a pretty big fan of ghost stories.
I wrote ghost stories because I'd always enjoyed reading them, and they seemed to be fizzling out... I don't take them terribly seriously. It's like a cake, with ingredients.
From a very young age, stories fuelled my imagination in the most wonderful way.
In kindergarten that used to be my job, to tell them fairytales. I liked Hans Christian Andersen, and the Grimm fairy tales, all the classic fairy tales.
As a child I loved ghost stories.
I was reading my son some fables; it made for good nighttime reading. These stories were very vivid and very strange and occasionally bizarrely violent. It was a very free landscape.
I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
