About how to tell a story and other curiosities

If I knew how to tell a story, I would have one right now, and actually I have lots of them, but I need to tell just one, that's what I will do in this blog, to tell my story, and the story of how will I tell it.
A story could be anything and could be anywhere, it is a body composed by content and container. In this case the idea is to tell a story based on simple displacement: the story of how I got here and how people displace from one side to another in any possible dimension, and want to show the possibilities of displacement in every sense.

First of all, the story needs a point to access the content where audience can get in and start diving, and a point of access to the container, that of course is related with how the story will be told (the media). My way to access this information is by questions, getting in and out of my information and taking conclusions that will give me access to new ways of thinking or maybe to new conclusions that might even change my first way to access.
Once my story is in process and information is floating everywhere in my head, I need to set connections among the key ideas (which I previously developed in brainstorming), in order to get the initial bounds and direct the story to a beginning, sometimes getting to points where the story goes out and in, or in and out the branches of the story. This mental patterns help to set the first sketches of a story-board and the main direction of the story body.
