Finding Inspiration for Stories

storytelling tips

Taking a lesson from my friend, Bengi, I spent this week going through old photos and finding some new stories.

Ever since Bengi has begun digitizing and sending me photos from our teenage days together, I have been awash in memories long since forgotten, and along with many of these memories comes a new story to tell.

The best storytellers in the world are the people with the most stories to tell. The right stories to tell. Spend a lazy summer afternoon with a pile of old photographs, a dusty photo album, or if you're too young for that, your phone or laptop, thumbing through the images.

You've got stories hiding in those images. I promise.

What a joy it has been to find them.
