Story Snacks

Story snacks are simply prompts to help you get out of your head and onto the page.

Story Snacks are designed to help you unlock a story that’s bubbling underneath, that you don’t even know is there!

It’s vital that you avoid coming into this exercise with a preconceived story idea. This exercise only works if you follow your instincts when you hear or read the prompt. Trust your gut. It’s always right!

Before you start

• Watch the What are Story Snacks? video

• Grab some paper and pens, pencils, crayons, or gel pens

• If you’re new to this, set your timer for five (5) minutes

• Click open the Story Snack prompts

• Start writing the first thing that pops into your head

• Stop when your alarm goes off

• Marvel at how amazing your story is!

Tips

• Listen to the phrase and follow your gut instinct

• Go with whatever jumps straight into your head

• Don’t filter, don’t think. Just go

• Leave the edit until the end

• Perfection doesn’t exist, so let go and have fun!
