Flash Memoir: Writing Prompts to Get You Flashing

By Jane Hertenstein

Suddenly we remember, triggered by a familiar smell, the taste of a cookie, the touch of soft skin. Flash, and we are back in the past. Memories. They are elusive, mysterious, with a mind of their own. If only we could harness them and turn them into memoir.

Now you can. In the amount of time it takes to brush your teeth, you can jot down a memory to be later expanded upon or used in sequence with others. Flash Memoir: Writing Prompts to Get You Flashing will guide you in constructing a portfolio of short pieces. Random memories are the building blocks not only to memoir but to scenes which you can draw upon for other writing.

Using a process I call write right now, I help the writer to harvest the urgency of sudden memories.The prompts in this book are designed to spur memories, to get you writing. I'll also direct you to resources, authors to read and study, and places to submit.
