Story telling is for me

Growing up as a child, I had all of the ingredients necessary to become a good story teller. First, the best teachers that I could ever have hoped for: my beloved Dad and Granny. Second, the radio. Yes, the good old radio where I used to be able to listen to so many stories uninterrupted.

You may be wondering how these two ingredients were able to help me become a good story teller. It is quite simple. In those days, the availability of Braille books for me to read with stories in them was very limited, but nevertheless they were there and they enabled me to use my imagination to follow along. With Dad and Granny as my master teachers, my imagination was further developed and then the radio only helped to make me even better.

Granny pitched in to further help develop my story telling talents. Both she and Dad used to make up their own stories and then tell them to me. Teachers from both sides of the family, so to speak. Then there was my older brother, Robert, who used to read to me from those beloved nursery rhyme books.

Dad, Granny, and the radio helped me to become a better listener. They helped me to use my imagination and then I used these two ingredients to develop my own story telling. Now I am writing my own stories, mysteries and fiction, and soon I’ll be having my own radio show.
