An Ancient Wisdom Guide On How To Tell A Story From The Moth: Unleash The Power Act Of Storytelling For Modern Writers And Readers To Change Hearts And Get Results
I’ve always wanted to be a storyteller, even at a very young age. My dad told me that’s because I am more Irish than I am Mexican. My dad was a very good drawer—I wanted to mimic him, and tell stories through the paper and pencil. I’d draw out massive battles scenes, James bond coming to the rescue, or cars I always dreamed of having. The problem was I sucked at it and I still do.
I remember those awful drawings. My mom would scotch tape them to the refrigerator door — oh God they were horrible. I can picture her face now trying to look thrilled that she had an artist like her or dad in the house.
Then my sister would come in laughing at me and I would draw pictures of John Wayne taking her away to the jailhouse. My mom would see that I was getting frustrated so she encouraged me to try my hand at drawing pictures with words.Now, with How to Tell a Story, The Moth will help you learn how to uncover and craft your own unique stories, like Moth storytellers Mike Birbiglia, Rosanne Cash, Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth Gilbert, Padma Lakshmi, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Hasan Minhaj, Tig Notaro, Boots Riley, Betty Reid Soskin, John Turturro, and more.
Whether your goal is to make it to the Moth stage, deliver the perfect wedding toast, wow clients at a business dinner, give a moving eulogy, ace a job interview, be a hit at parties, change the world, or simply connect more deeply to those around you, stories are essential. Sharing secrets of The Moth’s time-honed process and using examples from beloved storytellers, a team of Moth directors will show you how
