People love talking about writers as storytellers, but I hate being called that: it suggests I got it from my grandmother or something, when my writing really comes out of silence. If a storyteller came up to me, I'd run away.

Essentially, I'm a storyteller, and I make my living by telling stories, be they music or nonfiction or fiction.

I was always a storyteller. I just didn't know it. I never shared the stories I made up inside my head when I was growing up. I never wrote them down, either. But I can't remember a time when they weren't there.

I am definitely a storyteller, but probably not a traditional Storyteller.

Storytelling is ultimately a creative act of pattern recognition. Through characters, plot and setting, a writer creates places where previously invisible truths become visible. Or the storyteller posits a series of dots that the reader can connect.

I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.

I think of myself as a storyteller.

I like to think of myself as a storyteller.

I see myself as a story teller.
