The Means to an End – A Story Tellers Greatest Feat

Shy or outgoing, we are all faced at some point with the need to tell a story.  It’s a human instinct that inclines us to share important information with our family and friends.  Do you have something important to say? We have all felt it, that desire or aspiration to spill our guts.  Granted, we aren’t all gifted story tellers.  Some of us can make the most boring story sound like a blockbuster movie and yet others can’t even get the facts right.  It happened on a Tuesday…no, a Wednesday…actually, it happened yesterday.  Yes, we have all been at the mercy of a novice orator.  There uncertainty, plot twists comprised of random details, sounds painful.

The story teller’s job is to provide the reader or listener with relevant information.  The trick here is to keep the audience entertained long enough to reach the end of the story.

We all have something to say.  Ultimately, it’s not just the value of the content that makes you a great story teller.  Recounting a great tale of your exploits on vacation to Aruba is far more interesting than your visit to the grocery store.  What’s also important, sometimes this can be more detrimental than anything else, is how your story is presented.  For the writer, the tool of choice is a personalized tablet or notepad.

The writer works hard to become a great storyteller.  They will toil day and night to bring their readers a great literary masterpiece.  Ask any writer why they do what they do and they will be a loss for words.  It’s a passion that compels them to write or an indescribable calling that haunts the very essence of their soul.  Either way, it is their burden to write it all down.  Have you ever read a book and thought? I can do that! We knew it.  It’s the storyteller inside of you trying to come out.  Tap into the writer you have always wanted to be with a personalized tablet or notepad.

      I think telling a story by handwritten manuscript is pretty uncommon anymore, since most writers probably work by computer. But it all comes down to the individual and what medium works best for them. Some people think more clearly when they work with the slower pace of writing by hand, and for someone like that a personalized tablet is a great medium for them to tell their story.

      I’ve never felt like I’m a particularly good storyteller, at least not when telling my stories verbally. I do think though that maybe by writing them down I could tell better stories, as I feel more comfortable communicating by the written word sometimes. I could definitely see myself writing down some funny stories on a personalized desk slab or some other personalized notepad, and sharing them that way.

      As an aspiring writer, I never go too far without a personalized notepad at my side. Inspiration strikes at the strangest times – in the car, at the store, when I’m going to bed, and any other time. If I don’t have a personalized tablet handy to write my ideas on, I usually forget at least part of it before I get a chance to write it down. This is especially true when I get an idea while in bed, right as I’m going to sleep – I can guarantee I’ll forget my idea by the next morning if I don’t write it down on my personalized notepad before I go to sleep.

      Personally, I like to use my personalized tablet as more of a sketch pad sometimes, though I can see how it would be a valuable tool for writers as well, or anyone with a creative bent. With any profession or hobby where you need to come up with creative ideas, inspiration could come to you at any time. That’s why a personalized notepad is a good thing to keep handy.
