What is a storyline? What is successful storytelling?
As humans, we seek meaning. We implicitly look for connections in everything we see and experience; we make a storyline in our head. Storytelling takes advantage of that habit to structure information so it’s easier for us to understand.

You can see the events through the eyes of whoever is experiencing them. See for example: this story or these stories.
Storytelling requires a different way of collecting information. While the facts may be the same in any culture and any group, we act according to what those facts mean to us. So with storytelling we focus on the experience.
