Step 1. Create your group -- yourself and friends who would also like to tap into their creative genies.
Step 2. Get our new, really easy to use book How to Write Your Memoirs...Fun Prompts to Make Writing...and Reading...Your Life Stories a Pleasure!, for yourself and friends. As in the Pawprints Creative/Fiction Writing Clubs, founders will get a free copy of prompts from upcoming book "Ina's Weird Prompts"™ upon proof of purchase of at least 6 copies of How to Write Your Memoirs. (Scroll down to see how.)
Step 3. In your first meeting, read the introductory section to get some ideas on structures that might work for you. Once you have determined how you want to proceed, turn to the section in the Table of Contents that relates to your thinking. Use the prompts (story starters) to jog your memory and write for a half hour during your meeting. Read aloud and critique, making sure you always reinforce the positive! More tips included in introductory materials if you decide to form a memoir writing support group (see Step 4 below).Alternative Step 3. Open the book to any page after the Table of Contents and use the prompt(s) on the page to stimulate the group! Proceed as in Step 3 above.NOTE: Additional books that will benefit you: S tories From The Heart, Vols. 1 and 2, and the brand new Stories From The Heart, Vol. 3: More Enchanted Tales and Imagination Tools to Help You Write Better Memoirs.
