You Should Totally Write That
A 5-Day Memoir Starter for the Story That Won’t Leave You Alone
You know the one.
The story that gets a reaction every time.
The season you keep circling.
The memory that still has voltage.
You don’t have to call it a book.
But you do have to stop pretending it’s nothing.
This Is About Taking It Seriously.
(Well, not too seriously. Just enough to see what happens.)
Maybe you have one moment in mind.
Maybe you’ve got a whole era.
Maybe you just have a feeling that there’s something here.
Cool.
For five days, we poke it.
We turn it over.
We hold it up to the light like it’s a slightly mysterious thrift-store find.
We notice what sparks—the parts that give “oh… now that’s interesting” energy.
And by the end?
You’re not filing it under “someday” anymore.
You’re writing.
This Could Be Nothing
Or.
It could be the thing you look back on and say,
“Okay. That’s when I started.”
Five days isn’t dramatic.
It’s barely a blip on your calendar.
But it’s long enough to:
• notice which moment keeps tapping you on the shoulder
• see what actually holds when you give it real attention
• write something solid instead of promising you’ll get to it “someday”
That’s the move.
Because every once in a while, the right answer really is:
You should totally write that.
