Many creativity research programs are narrowly focused on one aspect of creativity to the exclusion of others; an integrative focus will help move the field forward. This post asks a variety of questions about creativity (quoting from post below): * What is (a) creative (product)? * Who is creative/what makes someone crative (the person)? * What conditions (historically/everyday) are conducive to creativity (the press)? These questions are then explored, with information form a variety of other sources included. Recent articles in the news have suggested that creativity in childen is decreasing. This post provides a look at this issue from perspectives that may be new to you as well as the author's perspective on "what factors are necessary for Genius." Via Beth Dichter Delete the scoop?

If you haven't read the New York Times story "Snow Fall: The Avalanche at Tunnel Creek" you are totally missing a fab reading experience.
So what's this got to do with business storytelling? Because it shows that long-form storytelling is still popular despite all the wailing and moaning about people's short attentions spans destroying storytelling.

It is a captivating story and I was immediately hooked reading it.
What can this mean for you? Well for one, don't get all twisted up about only creating short stories. A well-crafted story will always be engaging so don't worry about the length. Worry about crafting it well. You can always shorten it to fit a particular context later.
And second, if you are wanting to share your stories as part of your content strategy, let it rip. But take some lessons from "Snow Fall":
Think about how you can use long-form storytelling to your advantage. Now go read "Snow Fall" and settle in for a great story!
