Welcome to the Carnival of Storytelling!

A few days late, but not forgotten. I want to thank everyone who submitted articles. Please show your support by checking out other articles on these blogs.

If you would like to host an edition of the Carnival of Storytelling, please let me know.

Now, the most interesting posts in the blogosphere about telling stories…

Art and Craft

• To kick off this month’s carnival, Vijayendra Mohanty muses on the hero with a sword and horse, in “The sword and horse package.”

• Tacith Hydra examines the difference between plot-based stories and character-based stories, by examining the difference between a question and a wonder.

The Business of Writing

• In honor of World Press Freedom Day (May 3, 2007), Alfa King pays tribute to journalists, noting that journalism is a dangerous occupation.

Fiction

• In the past, I’ve resisted posting fiction here, since there are other carnivals for that purpose. But reading fiction is the most important thing you can do to learn to write it. So let’s kick off this new Fiction section with a short literary story by Elvis D’Silva, called “The Quiet Bar.”

And that is this edition of the Carnival of Storytelling! Feel free to comment here or e-mail me to let me know what you think.
