Hi, I'm R.L. Soxy.
I’ve told stories for over twenty years. In the beginning, I had no idea why they worked. Then I started paying attention. This site is where I think out loud about stories: why we tell them, how they're built, and what they do to the people who hear them.
What I've figured out so farWhat you'll find here
My thinking on stories
Why stories exist, how they're structured, and what makes one land versus fall flat. No academic jargon — just the stuff I've actually found useful.
About Stories →Stories I've written
Some personal, some about business, some just because the story needed to be told. Read them, steal the structure, tell me what you think.
My Stories →Questions and answers
Things people ask me about storytelling — and things I ask myself. Got a question? Send it in.
Q&A →Stories aren't magic. They're craft. And craft can be learned.
That's what this whole place is about.
