Storyworth

 https://welcome.storyworth.com/faq

If you've not yet heard about Storyworth, I highly recommend you check out the link above with some frequently asked questions about it. Although I just began my experience with this new company's concept several weeks back when my daughter gave her mother and me a holiday gift, I know already it's going to work better for me than many of the earlier attempts I've made using a similar concept.  

Even though I write continuously and always have good intentions as I begin capturing memories in those books that you see everywhere designed for that purpose, what sets Storyworth apart from those books is the ease and convenience of their model. Because Storyworth was conceived in the digital era, the prompts designed to take you down memory lane arrive in your e-mail in-box. You respond like you would to any e-mail and after you do, Storyworth does the rest. At the end of the year - ours will end near Christmas day 2023 - a bound book, filled with the memories you captured using those prompts is delivered to you. No saving hard copies of anything; no need to worry that someone in the future will have trouble reading your funky handwriting; no feeling overwhelmed looking at a book containing hundreds of prompts - just one prompt at a time and you get to decide how often that prompt will appear in your in-box.

If you have already used or are currently using Storyworth, tell me and others about your experience. If you are unfamiliar with it, check out that link. I think you'll be intrigued.

  1. Good afternoon, Pat. I hope this finds you and your family doing well. I honestly had never heard of Storyworth until reading your blog post. I just took a look around their webpage and it is certainly an interesting concept being offered. I've heard it said, or maybe I read it somewhere, that everyone has a book inside of them. Not sure if that's entirely accurate, or if it applies to everyone, but I can see how a site like Storyworth could assist the process for any number of people. For me, I'm not sure if I have a book in me, or even a short story. However, having just read that last sentence over again, I realize that it doesn't have to be something for widespread publication or anything like that, but it could just be something for me or for family. I may be taking another look at that website again.
    Be well,
    Bob
