Before movies, before books, before plays - from the earliest times humans have always been storytellers.
Around the campfire our ancestors shared myths of monsters and heroes, tales of good and evil, told directly, simply and without the need of special effects and symphonic scores.
In ancient amphitheatres, with no scenery to set the story, narrators evoked other times and distant places through words alone.
That is the tradition writers aspire to.
To connect directly with the audience.
To tell a story.
