Stories to Last Prompts

These prompts and questions are to help you get the cogs of your memory turning! We’ll add more and change them up on occasion. Set a timer for ten minutes and just write or record yourself! Don’t worry about correctness. Let this be a rough draft, so you can relax and just tell the story.

We can help you polish these stories. Or tell them to us in fun, conversational interviews (We know how to pull out the best stuff!). Either way, we can help you create a page-turner!

Prompt #1

Describe one of your earliest memories. Why do you think that stands out in your memory?

Prompt #2

Who was your first love? How did you meet? What was that moment like? And what attracted you to that person?

Prompt #3

What was your first car? Tell a story of somewhere you went or something that happened in or with that car.
