Literally just read yet another "personal story turned invite for business opportunity" post on LinkedIn and this is a balm to my weary/doubtful soul who loves storytelling yet unsure of where it's going, at the rate it's going. I see this as a nudge and assurance to tell more raw, as-is, CTA-free stories.

As a practicing Storyteller (in the Mythic Sense) - there tends to lean towards a 'cosmic seeking' (or at least my neurosis at the time being) - for all these answers hidden among the social-muck of oversharing (I too am guilty of).

That "man shouting at the clouds" - a perfect metaphor.

As we all begin to understand that the sharing of our stories are VITAL to the compassionate whole.... I feel the urgency/agency within myself to consistently be re-sourcing 'content' for my social-image.

Zane,

I desire in your creations - particularly your involvement with your short fiction - that you are able to tell the true-story within the path of your own creation.

Thank you for being so connected to story, and brining the community closer to a language we can all share.

Zane, you speak my mind! The commoditization of storytelling and avalanche of content is exhausting. Yours, though, always feels like a breath of fresh air! Thank you for what you do 😊
