Not a problem, for modern people, to share stories from their life. Perhaps only when we’re not able to speak – as child or in the deep past.

We use language mostly – the most frequent medium of communication, at least 1/3 of the amount of topics is connected to relationships, according to last studies – and share our experiences orally. Then the age of books came, people started to learn how to write and how to write it such way, that people would have liked it to read. As seen, both oral and written medium is all the time important for us and I’m not speaking now about communication in the “public” sphere, I would like to focus more at “artistic area”. Friends continuously discuss topics of marital infidelity and the success of their daughter when drinking coffee and no paper nor computer is still needed – of course, there stories from life aren’t casually too artistically valuable but surely important for us.

Writers also started to use paper and books to tell us their stories. In the recent centuries new sources of entertainment appeared as radio, television or Internet, and that was surely also new impulse to share stories – not only news from world and politics. Also, what kind of stream is used today to “write” or share short story – and also novels and novelettes?

Perhaps you say (any kind of) books at the first place and definitely it’s true. People would read, no matter if paper book or electronic book, the reading is very spread and people like it.

Because of radio influence people record stories and share them – nowadays mostly per Internet or radio as well as, common way is to hear it in the radio and find the short story as a pod-cast at radio’s sites. Although, also anyone can record story and upload it to “audio youtube”:

short stories could be also dramatized

So, what have you ever tried when writing stories? What kind of impress?
