Storyteller’s Creed

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.

That myth is more potent than history.

That dreams are more powerful than facts.

That hope always triumphs over experience.

That laughter is the only cure for grief.

And I believe that love is stronger than death.

The Storyteller's Creed

    Hello, fantastic-brilliant-encouraging-creative-wonderful-genius-fellow-writers-friends-clubbers-Wrimos-and-human-beings. (How's that for a new title for all of you? Sembers was too short. Maybe that's what I didn't like about it.)
  As we draw into these last few days of frenzied noveling (how's that word count?) I would like to share with you something that I really like. It's called the Storyteller's Creed -- that is, the words that we storytellers agree to and write by. If we really like it, it may become the new quote at the top of the blog. Here it is, and tell me what you think:



Storyteller’s Creed
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.

  And...that's the Storyteller's Creed! I read it in Barnes & Noble in a book, but apparently it's universal to all authors. Be inspired, go on, and write powerful words that will change the world! (Or just go and finish your novel...but hey, what's the difference?)

  1. I like it, it is very cool. I think that it would be a good thing to put at the top of the blog.

  2. I think that's Raistlin, but I could be wrong. It could be Dreamer. I think most of those things are true. But the most true is that love is stronger than death. I mean, duh! Love stands forever, from now and after the world has ended. (Once the world has ended, we'll be heaven with Jesus, which screams love, so it goes on after the world has ended.) And look at Jesus! God's love is so powerful, death doesn't hold. How awesome is our God? (I think that's in a song somewhere?0
