Whenever a group of memoir writers get together, and when we talk about home, the subject always seems to turn toward stories that took place in “our rooms.” No doubt, our earliest bedrooms made a lasting impression on us because they provided a safe haven. Or did they? What went on in your room? Put pen to page and just write. First thoughts, no censoring. Now go…
- Describe your childhood bedroom. What was the view from your window?
- List one special memory about each of your brothers and sisters (or friends).
Now, take what you have written. Reread. Write for 30 minutes on each of the above over the next few days, or weeks, and develop a short vignette.
