ABSTRACT
One of the main sources behind a lack of confidence in telling our stories derives from our school experiences with composing stories. From the perspective of the novelist, Martin Amis claims: the trouble with life is its amorphousness, its ridiculous fluidity. What writers, story-tellers, and artists of all kinds attempt to do is frame fragments of experience in order to remind that there is significance in the moment, in the particular, in the mundane. The chapter aims to promote the possibilities and complexities of the third dynamic of narrative inquiry: discourse, or how the story is crafted and constructed. Narrative inquiry is an invitation to enter into a lively and productive discussion of how stories are always steeped in gaps and silence and surprises. To foster narrative inquiry as a verb requires constant vigilance regarding how the story is told, and how the story might be told, sustaining a creative connection with the plural possibilities of any narrating.
