A STORYTELLING SPECIES * Story dominates human existence. * Human story telling has ancient roots. (cave paintings) * In hunter-gatherer societies, storytelling has clear survival value. * The brain is hardwired for story as an extremely deep level. * "Mirror neurons" in the brain echo emotions created by story. * Young children organize their play around story-telling that fits classic narrative forms. * Character and plot may work together as a story unfolds, but character reigns supreme. * Story is more important to engaging reader interest than writing quality. * We construct our own identities out of stories we tell about ourselves.

STORY'S KEY INGREDIENTS A sequence of actions. A sympathetic character. A complication. A resolution. THE IMPACT OF STORY
