And this is where my story starts.

The stories started pouring out.

You and Julie start writing the story.

End of song, beginning of story.

Now, the story that I start telling my kids, it starts out like a horror story.

This story began four years ago.

So let me just start with my story.

Well, let's begin our story this way.

This all started with going to buy a door handle.

It's a civilizational story to begin with.

Well, this is where you came in.

That's how these stories get started.

Yet as much as I love stories, recently, I've also begun to think that they lose their magic if and when a story is seen as more than a story.

I'd started concocting a little plot of my own.

August 19 at 15.30. It began just like a real story has to begin.

Dai Manju is 13 years old at the time the story starts.

So I began drawing the story that was moving in my head.

After the tragedy, survival stories began to emerge.

And another story of the cylinder begins.

Rough out a storyline, and then we'll get to work.

Those stories were a good start. Now, where do you go from here?

And he looked at me, and then we heard the big sad story.

I wanted to say, OK, don't start with this story.

Let's go back about six months and find the day when it all started.

I liked you at once But we got off to a bad start

So our story ends at the beginning the beginning of all things, the Big Bang.

But the real story starts when you wrap it around a book and put it on the shelf.

The story starts with just a single person, a child, behaving a little strangely.

Maybe she was when you started telling this story, but not now.

It's actually part of a very long story, a great story, that began billions of years ago.

So we start off the story with Ernest, who volunteers as a census taker.

And recently, I've become interested in diving much more deeply into a single story.

But in Chandler's case, that was the beginning of the story.

In 1943, so the story goes 2000 British soldiers lay marooned on the island of Kheros exhausted and helpless.

But I think we can see the very beginnings of a new story beginning to emerge.

The story begins in the late '90s.

My story begins in London.

And I started this piece, particularly with stories and narratives, and I was talking to one woman and that led to another woman and that led to another woman, and then I wrote those stories down and I put them out in front of other people.

So the second story that I'd like to tell is, actually starts in my own house.

I only have a couple more slides, and this is where the story gets kind of interesting.

I'll try to spin a story about energy, and oil's a convenient starting place.

I set out to write a compelling economic story, one that had great characters, that no one else was telling, and one that I thought mattered.

Six years ago, I started writing about women entrepreneurs during and after conflict.

So the Awesome story It begins about 40 years ago, when my mom and my dad came to Canada.

So I finally learned you had to tell a story from beginning to middle to end.
