Stories in space rather than time

Following on from a longer piece I wrote here on storytelling versus plotting (http://www.agoodstorywelltold.com/content/storytelling-versus-plotting) it seemed like a good idea to take some time to talk about storytelling and space.

Storytelling versus Plotting

A slightly esoteric one this - so what's new?!

Reading a very good book called 'Lines - A brief History' by Tim Ingold which is about the anthropology of lines, threads and traces and covers some very interesting ground about such diverse things as weaving, seafaring, writing, drawing, threads and writing. One of the riffs is about the difference between wayfaring and travelling and it's logical double storytelling and plotting.
