Those weren't my words - I was quoting the first line of this subthread and explaining why I feel that line clearly refers to novels and novelists. Plays, poetry and academic writing are not generally referred to as 'stories'. The 'constantly inspired storyteller who never stops' stereotype is most often associated with novelists and obviously fails to reflect the full universe of people who write things that other people read.

Personally I think narrative is overrated and what matters is a) craft and b) do you have anything worth saying? and those metrics rather than 'stories' motivate my own writing. This approach doesn't seem particularly rare.
