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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People who actually tell stories, meaning people who write novels and make feature films, don't see themselves as storytellers.
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.
For everyone I know who is a writer, there was some awkward time in their lives when they had to learn to call themselves one.
A storyteller is basically what actors and writers are.
I don't want to be remembered as a writer. I would rather be remembered as a storyteller.
No, you're either born a writer, a storyteller, or you're not.
I am definitely a storyteller, but probably not a traditional Storyteller.
I'm not really a storyteller myself - I tend to get all tangled up when I try and tell stories.
I never thought about what I would write. I just come from such a big family of storytellers.
I didn't know anything about writers. It never occurred to me they were regular people and that I could grow up to become one, even though I loved to make up stories inside my head.
