What is a StoryStarter?

StoryStarters are very brief, general topics designed to spark memories from your past. These StoryStarters are best used by jotting down a very quick note that is only a few words long about each memory that surfaces so that you can remember to write a more detailed story about it later.

The StortyStarter topics along with your memories in your notes about them will act as a memory vault for you.  One memory will spark another memory and your memories will quickly multiply many times.  You will quickly accumulate a vast collection of your memories and a wealth of material from which to write many stories.

If you’re interested in writing your memoir some day, these memories and stories will make that process much easier. Your StoryStarter Memory Bank will provide the foundation of stories that are already written that will fuel your memoir writing and make it much easier to write than it otherwise would be if you were starting from scratch.
