Hephaestus’s Cry

Writer vs. Storyteller
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the terms “writer” and “storyteller”. There are many authors out there who identify as “storytellers” rather than “writers”, and when discussing the often-debated Stephenie Meyer, people will strongly argue that she is a “storyteller” rather than a “writer”. That had me wondering, what exactly is the difference between a “writer” and “storyteller”, and which one am I—or can I be both?
