Each week, I am bumping into new friends who want to start writing their Life Stories. With this in mind, I’ve designed a download for you called, “<\/strong>21 Prompts for Finding your Life Story.<\/a>” <\/strong> This little booklet affords you a viable method of locating the most powerful memories to write about.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Many times, people ask me how I accessed my memories with such detail. True, it is a mental exercise. Most often I was taking a walk and went back in time in my mind to a particular place and time.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I went straight to a powerful memory.<\/strong> This could be either positive or negative, happy or sad. In any case, it was an INTENSE moment in my life. From there, I would record what I remembered, what I said or what others said. I recorded the setting and the circumstances around that memory. Soon, I chose a beginning and ending point for that memory. Making the event sound complete was one of my goals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Lately, I’m writing about our years living in rural South Dakota where we settled for a few years before we went off to Mongolia. These memories are buried deeper and yet are loaded with meaning. I un-bury about one “scene” per week.<\/strong> It is exhausting, but gratifying work.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s a pdf download<\/strong> for you to print out in color ink. Fold it in half, and you have a little booklet with
21 Prompts<\/a> to help YOU to get started.<\/p>\n
