Applied Storytelling Glossary
A work in progress is the storytelling glossary referenced below. The attached file is a rough beginning with more than 1,000 terms related (to wildly varying degrees) to storytelling. I welcome any suggestions for inclusion/exclusion.
Here are the terms that I will attempt to define in this glossary. I will likely eliminate/consolidate some and definitely add others. Suggestions welcomed:
