This Might Be Something — Memoir Writing Prompts

$19.00

You think you have a story.

You’ve told it in fragments.
You’ve watched people lean in.
Someone has absolutely said, “You should write about that.”

You laughed it off. Changed the subject.

But you’ve kept coming back to it.

This Might Be Something is what happens next.

The moment you stop circling it and start putting it on the page.

And the only way to know?

You write it.

You think you have a story.

You’ve told it in fragments.
You’ve watched people lean in.
Someone has absolutely said, “You should write about that.”

You laughed it off. Changed the subject.

But you’ve kept coming back to it.

This Might Be Something is what happens next.

The moment you stop circling it and start putting it on the page.

And the only way to know?

You write it.

Your life is not short on material

This is where you start writing it down.

Most writing prompts assume you’re inventing something. A cursed prince. A seaside town with a suspiciously charming mayor. A dragon who journals exclusively in Moleskine.

Memoir works with a different kind of material.

The house you can still walk through in your head.
The friend group with its own unspoken hierarchy.
The job that felt glamorous from the outside and absolutely unhinged from the inside.

You’re not inventing a world.

You’re rebuilding the one you already lived in—with enough detail that someone else can step into it.

That’s where the fun is.

The specific room.
The real dialogue.
The version of you who thought this was a good idea.

Fiction writers don’t get a monopoly on vivid scenes or unforgettable characters.

You’ve met yours.

Now you get to write them.

  • A collection of memoir prompts built for people who are finally ready to stop saying, “I should write about that someday.”

    Inside:

    • Scene-driven prompts that pull you back into actual rooms, actual conversations, actual versions of you

    • Character prompts that make the people in your life walk onto the page like they own it

    • Memory triggers that surface the small, vivid details you forgot were still in there

    • Questions that make you laugh, wince, underline something twice, and keep going

    No lectures.
    No “find the moral of the story.”
    No worksheets asking you about your five core values.

    Just smart, sharp prompts that get words moving.

    Beautifully designed. Slightly dangerous. Very hard to close once you start.

  • The second you check out, it’s yours.

    No waiting.
    No mysterious “we’ll email you in 24–48 hours.”
    No hoops.

    You download the PDF.
    Open it on your laptop or tablet.
    Or print it and grab the pen you secretly think writes better than the others.

    And you can start that same night.

    Not someday.
    Not after you reorganize your office.
    Not after you feel “ready.”

    Just… open it and begin.

    • 44 memoir prompts across 71 thoughtfully designed pages

    • Scene-driven sections you can revisit again and again

    • Digital PDF (GoodNotes, Notability, Apple Notes, or anything PDF-friendly)

    • Also very happy to be printed, highlighted, and slightly dog-eared

    • Hyperlinked tabs so you can move between sections without scrolling forever

    • Instant download—ready the second you are

  • Do I have to go in order?
    Absolutely not. Start with the one that makes you laugh. Or slightly nervous. Choose your own adventure.

    Is this just journaling?
    Nope. These are scene-forward, book-building prompts. You’re not venting. You’re writing.

    Is this only for dramatic, capital-M Memoir?
    Not at all. Quiet stories welcome. So are loud ones.

    Can I use this even if I don’t know what my book is “about” yet?
    Especially then.

    Do I have to be a “real writer”?
    If you have a memory and a keyboard (or pen), you qualify.

Three interior pages of This Might Be Something memoir writing prompts, plus one page on an iPad and another with a woman typing on a laptop.
