Disciplines > Storytelling > Telling stories

It is one thing to write a story and it is another to tell it. In some ways, storytelling is easier, as you have your audience before you and have feedback from them to which you can respond to make the story more exciting. In otherwise it is more difficult, as it is in 'real time', and you have to read or remember what you are saying as it happens, as well as watching and responding to your audience.
