Waffle Free Storytelling

About Waffle Free Storytelling

Welcome to The Story Stays Previously Waffle-Free Storytelling (then StoryRiverFables for a while). I'm like a chameleon in a paintbox... can't quite make up my mind. The name has changed, but the vibe hasn't. This show is all story... no waffle. The original name came about while I was looking for a story show, and all I could find at the time were shows that had a story... but you had to wade through minutes and minutes of jibber-fabber! "Enough of the waffle!!" I yelled to the four walls... and Waffle-Free Storytelling was born. NO WAFFLE! No rambling introduction, no jibber-jabber. A waffle-free story still gets straight to the point: story and nothing but. What you take from it is all yours. The tales are 3 to 17 minutes long and, except for a few traditional stories or ones delivered by one of my amazing guests, are written and told by yours truly (Tina Konstant). The tales are all fable’ish, myth’ish, fairytale’ish, and entirely human (zero AI... I repeat - NO A.I.). Welcome to the place where coffee breaks become mini adventures, headphones become front-row seats, and truth is told through stories. See you on the flipside, you wild, glorious human being. Tina

   If You Go Into The Woods Today

   Welcome to The Story Stays (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This isn't a story I want to explain. Suffice it to say, it's inspired by what's happening in the world right now. Sorry to be cryptic! Actually... This story isn't cryptic at all. Pretty much says what I want to say. So... feet up, mug full, join me for a Story Stays moment. When the story's done, feel free to enjoy the rest of the site (https://tinakonstant.com/ (https://tinakonstant.com/)) for more stories and other stuff and nonsense.

   A Thousand Ways Home

   Welcome to The Story Stays (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) This story was inspired by an observation made by a friend a long, long time ago, that a lot of the Story Stays stories return home. Returning home isn't always literal. Home can be simply finding yourself where you belong. So... put your feet up, fill your mug with something delightful, and take a moment. When the story's done, feel free to enjoy the rest of the site (https://tinakonstant.com/ (https://tinakonstant.com/)) for more stories and other stuff and nonsense.

   Next Will Be Next

   Welcome to The Story Stays (previously Waffle-Free Storytelling) Origin stories are a favourite of mine. Here's one that tells the story of Diasamede and the thing she invented (The Story Stays style). It's a beautiful world when we take the time to notice. With that in mind, put your feet up, fill your mug with something delightful, and take a moment. When the story's done, feel free to enjoy the rest of the site (https://tinakonstant.com/ (https://tinakonstant.com/)) for more stories and other stuff and nonsense.
