Your Story Matters. It’s Time to Get Started.

Happy Wednesday! I hope you’re week is going well so far.

I’m writing today because you need to share your story, and we want to help you do it. Among the many good reasons for sharing your story, here are two: 1) sharing will help you better understand your own experiences; 2) sharing will help others who have similar experiences, and connect you to them.

Here’s how to get started: 

  1. Ask yourself this question: What are three of your most impactful memories?
  2. Pick one of those memories. It doesn’t matter why or how you choose it. Just pick one.
  3. Now, imagine I’m asking you to tell me what happened.
  4. Start writing what happened, as if you’re talking directly to me.
  5. If you get stuck, try describing where you were, what you were doing and who was there. If you want to focus on the details, try to describe what it sounded like, looked like – even smelled like.
  6. Share what you wrote on www.sharemorestories.com. If you don’t want others to read it yet, that’s okay. You can save it as a draft and no one else will see it. If you want to share it publicly, but it’s not quite where you want it, that’s okay, too. Just share it as “Work in Progress” and add a comment to let people know what you’re thinking and what kind of feedback you’re looking for.

Here are a few tips to help you along the way:

  • Remember: it doesn’t have to be perfect. Just follow the steps above and get started sharing your story.
  • Please make sure your story meets our guidelines and terms of use.
  • Don’t worry about length. Write as little or as much as you want.
  • Let us know if you need help. We are assembling a group of experts who can help you develop the story you want to share and find your audience.
  • Share your story on social media if you want to engage more people who might relate to your experience or share your story further.

That’s all for now. I hope the rest of your week is fantastic, and we all hope to see your stories soon!
