> If I'm a storyteller, it's because I listen

Becoming good at anything, especially writing, is a practice in developing your attention.

1) Listen and Notice what's going on around you every day. Keep a daily journal of your observations. No one creates out of nothing. We only combine details we've seen elsewhere.

2) Focus on the smallest possible detail that still captures the meaning of the whole.

3) Do this every day. Create a practice of awareness. Life is full of meaning. We just have to learn to see it.
