I can see it now. You've spent hours in Barnes and Noble.  Your small table
is a leaning tower of books and magazines.  The woman next to you is eating
a cranberry scone, a little boy is tossing packets of Splenda at you, and all
you can think about is tossing the paperback you're reading into the
garbage.  

Why?  Because you can write better than Mr. Published-So-and-So.  

This is where Storyteller|Creations comes in with some motivation.  If you
have a better story to tell, tell it.  Trade in your 1:00 am high-def HBO
addiction for a laptop.  Or if you believe in tradition, pencil and paper.  

Now is the time to tell your story.

Write about the 5:00 am fistfight you almost got into on Black Thursday,
when some red-faced man at Best Buy tried to rip the final season
collection of
Angel from your cashmere mitten covered hands

Or

Tell us about the Sunday morning you spent hiking up Mt. Rubidoux.  And
how you wished Starbucks had a cafe at the summit.

Whatever  memory, moment, or mistake you have beating in your brain,
put it on paper.  Memorialize it, be proud of it, and know that words last  
longer than pictures, and legacies are passed down on paper.
