In a previous post, I spoke about creating a back-story for your characters through significant objects. Now, let's talk about the possible stories behind your own significant objects.
One of my most treasured objects is a Grover puppet that I have had for over 35 years! I take it with me on almost every trip. I entertain children (and adults) in airports, on planes, in parks or wherever people may need to be engaged or entertained. There are many stories about me and Grover!
We all keep and hold dear, certain things that are significant to us. Close your eyes. Think about something you have that is important to you in some way. Maybe it's a photo. Maybe it's a book someone gave you. Maybe it's a piece of jewelry or a small trinket. Perhaps you have some sort of talisman that keeps you grounded or inspires you. Do you have a special object that reminds you of someone or something in your life?
There's a story behind that! Let's hear about it. Where do you keep it? What does it look like? How did you come by it? When did you get it? What power(s) does it hold for you? All of these can make a story, a great story about you and your life!
