Souvenirs become a springboard for stories or
poems. They encapsulate experience.
Stir imaginative juices today by selecting three
souvenirs to write about.
Place the mementos near your writing area.
Touch them. Move them around to spark moments of memory. Why did
you select them? What location do they bring to mind?
Souvenirs also recall friendships. Write
about individuals whose memories inhabit your selections.
Do reflections on the items invite longing for a
return to their source? Did you keep one as a symbol of a negative
experience to remind you never to return?
Is an unfulfilled desire part of the story?
Add sensory details to enrich the narrative and bring the reader into the
moment.
Let writing revive forgotten places and friends.
