  1. Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time.  It was a way to preserve thoughts, ideas, morals as well as hand down historical events. Eventually these events and thoughts were put into a written format. Today, technology has allowed us to put a new twist on our thoughts, ideas, writing and storytelling. It allows us to enhance our writing with pictures and music.  ~ The Bluegrass Writing Project
