Storytelling
‘Have you always had that in you?’, someone asked when I announced my debut as a storyteller. Well, in primary school I once got a ten for a presentation. I had read a book and talked about it with so much enthusiasm that the class hung on my every word. So yes, I think I always had it in me. Bringing it out, that is quite a challenge but one I am very happy to work on.
