Memory book, handmade
Advice is great, but advice on its own won’t make you a better writer. We become better writers by writing and it’s always easier to write when we’re inspired. To that end, a creative prompt using an ordinary item.
memory book, handmade | an exercise in sharing our feelings
This week’s ordinary item: A handmade memory book
What is it? A Fondfolio is a one-of-a-kind memory book, presenting a special person with a collection of thoughtful words and stories from everyone they care about.
What would you say?
The Fondfolio team reached out to us and suggested we feature their one-of-a-kind memory books. After taking a look through their site I was left with one question - what would you say?
The prompt today is a more sentimental one.
Imagine someone in your life (could be anyone, you choose!) has ordered a Fondfolio, and you have been given this question to answer about them, which will be included in their book - “How do you really feel about me?”
Pick anyone, think of them, reflect on your time together, and then answer the question below as if you were writing the answer directly to them.
“How do you really feel about me?” __________________ .
