| Waiting for a story to start... |
On BBC Rdio4 this morning. Something Understood was all about stories. I didn't hear the original broadcast, but thanks to iPlayer, and a tip off from a blogpal, I could listen later, at my leisure. It gave this quote as an introduction:-
"Novelist Jake Arnott believes narrative is a powerful force. He thinks the instinct to create stories is innate within us, and is vital to our understanding of the world."
I'd certainly recommend bloggers listen to this iPlayer programme, if they can, for aren't all of us trying to be storytellers in one way or another?
And on this same subject - a new blog has recently been born, which will be showcasing a collection of longer short stories (I love that contradiction!) by the indomitable Doctor FTSE - but a Doctor FTSE in serious mode.
The blog is called Once or Twice Upon a Time.
If you are looking for a substantial bite of a literary feast, why not settle down with a cuppa while you read a story or two from the Doctor's new menu? I'm sure you will find its choices more satisfying than many of the other dishes already on offer in Blogland.
