Let's say you are talented. You have:
an imagination that can dream up fascinating characters and stories to put them in.
the language ability to create sentences and imagery that flow and evoke.
ability to spin a tale, to string together events that compel interest.
So far so good. Now you've got to pull all that together and put it on the page. So you just write, right? Follow your instincts. You're an artist, after all.
I don't think so.
This article has a list of books that focus on the craft of storytelling.

Compelling storytelling?
Is this the same art that is now-a-days being used by corporates to teach the nuances of business to their associates?
Yes indeed - that would fit just right. But corporate spinning easily touches the realms of fantasy. Something that true blue storytelling needs to work hard at.
