“When someone asks me a question, I generally want to tell them something incredible and completely made up.” I should do this more because it would be fun. I tell stories when I have planned on doing it. It might be a spontaneous story or a planned one but I’ve usually planned the time of the telling and sent a clear container. I don’t jus tell made up stories at spontaneous times based on questions my kids ask.
This is a big, important conversation in the realm of storytelling. I'm working on a draft about this same subject. Working title is, "Why You Need to Be a Skilled Liar to Tell a True Story."
