A Place to Begin: 60 Reflective Writing Prompts
There's a quiet moment many people reach where they sense they want to write, but don’t quite know how to start.
Not a memoir project. Not a book proposal. Just a place to begin.
This week, I’m offering a unique workbook: "A Place to Begin"—a collection of gentle writing invitations designed to help you notice the stories already living inside your ordinary days.
These are not prompts that demand answers or confessions. They are invitations. You might write a paragraph. You might remember something you haven’t thought about in years. You might simply sit with a feeling and let it settle.
If you’ve been curious about memoir writing, reflective writing, or simply listening more closely to your own life, this offering is for you.
