Dear readers,

Wikipedia says Storytelling is the social and cultural activity of sharing stories, often with improvisation, theatrics, or embellishment.

We know as a matter of fact that stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation and instilling moral values. We only have an idea of what pre-historical beings such as humans lived as because of their carvings on wood, paintings on walls, and whatever was left of them that also tells us a silent yet interesting story.

Nowadays Storytelling has shaped itself in many forms. We have new platforms, easier ways to communicate, and that`s all thanks to the internet - with new platforms, we need to adjust ourselves to new ways of speaking and sharing, and so does History. Wikipedia also says that Digital storytelling is a short form of digital media production that allows everyday people to share aspects of their life story. That could be shaped in any way, from simple posts and rants on Facebook, to webtoons.

It is marvelous how communication shapes itself to fit with the current time and space. We can only hope, and excitedly expect for the new ways of communication that are to come in the next couple of years, specially in the field of telling stories. I hope you, readers, are ready to get to know mine.

With love,

Clara.
