SNAPSHOT MEMORIES

Think about specific moments in your life that are like snapshots in time – vivid and memorable. These could be moments of joy, sorrow, love, or personal triumph.

Choose three of these snapshot moments and write detailed descriptions of each. Capture the atmosphere, the people involved, and your feelings at that particular moment.

Reflect on why these moments have stayed with you and how they contribute to the overall narrative of your life. This exercise helps in uncovering the threads that connect different phases of your life.

As much as we preach to not write how you feel but actual sensory details, sometimes, especially when you are writing about your personal life, it is great to just let the words come and don’t judge your writing . You can leave it for a few days or weeks depending on how fast you want to go and rewrite it with a less emotional eye, paying more attention to the literary aspect what you have written.
