Sift through favorite possessions. What stories run through them to you?
How did a certain period of history affect you, friends and family?
Describe your most memorable childhood pet.
Write your relationship with a teacher. Did he or she make a lasting contribution on your life?
Music is a trigger for stories. Did you take music lessons? Describe a humorous incident. List tunes that elicit memories and write about them.
List firsts as fast as you can in a page of writing: childhood trip, date, kiss, circus, dance, bicycle, job, accomplishment.
Describe all of the above from someone else's point of view: parents, siblings, best friend.
Don't forget to include sights, sounds, scents and flavors.
