What? ME read?

I read very little, and some of it my own work from years ago. If I ever DID read to any extent, it was Solzhenitsyn or the oldest histories I could find. I just happen to be a natural story teller. Don't know why. Writing is different than story telling. What is story-telling? I can't describe that. I don't know where it comes from. I'm just some sort of conduit. A compelled conduit. I actual believe people NEED to hear this stuff from me. How out-there is that? I am old enough not to care what other people. I just know they think too much, but need a story that will make them feel good – maybe re-assured?
