"The people who say, 'Oh, I don't have much of a story to tell,' are the same people who will often surprise you with the incredible lives they have led: exciting travels, hijinks, love stories, and the full gamut of adventure."
"I often say that I am not writing a life story; I am rearranging words, like notes on a page of music, to create a melody of a person's life."
I feel like I have been given a gift from author Maureen Klues with her guide to becoming a life storyteller. This guide is as practical as it is eloquent, complete with sample questions to ask your interviewee, recommended editing tools, and more.
I used to be a storyteller as a newspaper journalist and I sometimes miss it. I'm not sure if I'll delve into life storytelling. But I'm thrilled to have this guide in case I go for it.
