If you’re looking for inspiration for this-coming MEMOIR MONDAYS CHALLENGE, then here is something to get your mind going: Think of a “mundane” family story that holds meaning or value to you and write about it this-coming Monday. It could be a story that’s been told many times, but never written down OR it could be a story that shows the uniqueness of a relationship with a family member. The sky’s the limit!
Some phrases, paraphrased from the end of Ralph Fletcher’s Talk I attended the other day:
Be truthful.
Be real.
Use precise words.
