Nine little tools to spark a story. Tap any one to begin — there is no wrong choice!
Pick a kind of story, then a shape for it. We will work out the middle together, decide where the surprise lands, and choose how it ends. At the end you get a story plan to print and keep beside you while you write. Take your time — this part is meant to be slow. ✨
Your seeds tell you what to write about. This tells you how to build it. Follow the path — or wander off it, that's allowed too!
✨ Two or three sentences is plenty. Don't describe every single thing!
✨ Show it happening instead of listing it. "She checked her pockets three times" tells us more than "she was nervous".
✨ This is where your story really starts. Get here quickly!
✨ A story where everything works first time is a story with no story in it.
✨ Finish on a picture, not an explanation. Let us see the last moment.
You don't have to use all five. Even three of these makes a proper story. 💛
Pick a festival, design your card, then handwrite your story inside and give it to someone you love. 💌
Tip: keep the front short and sweet — save your best words for the story inside! ✨
Print or draw your card, handwrite your story inside, then send us a photo — your writing coach will send back feedback.
