The Story Man
Randy Lindsay is known as the Story Man. It is a tradition that started with his wife. She gave him the nickname because he has the tendency to turn everything into a story. Even trips to the grocery store result in ideas for strange and interesting tales.
If there is anything Randy enjoys as much as crafting stories it is talking about the craft of storytelling. Workshops, podcasts, and conventions are his version of Disneyland. Whether you are a fan of his stories or want to learn to be a better storyteller Randy invites you to be a part of the Story Man journey. |

BATTLEMENTALS
Battle what? Don't pretend you weren't wondering what it meant and how to pronounce it. That's the name for the creatures in Randy's fantasy book. Just think of Battling Elementals (battle-mentals). You can find out more in the Battlementals section, but it's better to read about them in his book.
STORY TELLING
There are plenty of places you can go to learn how to write a story. Which is good news if you happen to be an author. However, storytelling is about more than writing a short story, a novel, or a screenplay. Storytelling is a part of our everyday life and has been since cavemen* gathered around the community fire at night. Advances in technology may have changed the way we tell our stories, but they haven't replaced the need to share our thoughts and experiences with others. It is Randy's goal to demonstrate how storytelling can help you express your thoughts and ideas better in an environment that has become increasingly impersonal.
* The use of the word cavemen is meant to include cavewomen. And cavekids. Oh, and cavepets as well.
