Q&A with Terrence Gargiulo (Question 4):

Q: You are an exceedingly prolific author of books that that relate to storytelling. It seems as though you’ve put out a new books just about every year. How have your book ideas come about, and how have they evolved from your earliest books to your newest book?

A: I am always thankful for readers. Writing for me is a process of reflecting and thinking. It is about taking chunks of intuitive insights and bringing them to life. I feel like a conduit. My mind works in terms of stories I see and feel patterns of swirling threads. I literally cannot turn off stories. My thoughts and ideas continue to evolve. As I encounter more and more people interested in stories my frame of reference deepens. Their insights and stories encourage me and fuel me to dig deeper. I have an insatiable curiosity and I am a relentless learner. It’s an exciting time. So many people are deeply interested, committed and hungry for conversation and connection. We have a lot to learn from each other and I plan on relish every moment – wherever it takes me. Thanks by the way for being a conversation facilitator and providing this opportunity!
