Strange gender specification aside, I saw a goal of mine within the definition. I think (from the examples) this word applies to both speaking and writing and I definitely skew towards the latter. [Between my sis and I: she's glib, but writes like a lost grandmother; I tend to stutter, but at least I write clearly.]
But the point is not the medium, it's all about the story.
I think it's pretty cool to actually bring a story to life and deliver it in a way that enraptures, and ultimately makes people believe in it. I've found that weaving a story does help when trying to convince people of new ideas or my own opinions. Anecdotes are even better (even if they're not completely referring to the same thing), coz "tried-and-tested-in-real-life".
Through the years, people have told me that I write "well". That's nice coz it's something I enjoy. But I guess that's coz its my favourite medium to tell stories that hopefully bring some smiles (sniggers are even better) to some people. That right there is what I truly enjoy doing.
If people think I'm good at it, well, that makes me the happy one :)
