Preserving Your Family Life Story With These Great Books

My Father's Life



About the Book
Record your life story in these beautiful keepsake journals with 200 guided exercises and prompts that take you back through each stage of your life and its accompanying adventures.

Writing your autobiography is no easy task. As any writer will advise, you need to rip off the hesitation and just begin to start writing. But, where do you start? Which experiences shaped you? Who or what influenced you to become who you are today? Creative Keepsake journals jump starts the reflective process to get your creative juices flowing and opens your mind to dig deeper into who you are, where you started, and, most importantly, where you are going.

The thought-provoking and lighthearted questions are organized into chapters based on life stages. Start your life’s memoir by remembering your childhood with questions such as Where was the farthest place from home you traveled to and did you enjoy it there? Then move into adolescence with prompts like List five objects you remember from one of your middle school/junior high school classes and describe them. Afterward, record your early adulthood with creative reflections such as What film, theater production, book, or song best describes this era of your life and why?



With you as the protagonist, Create Keepsakes challenge you to dig deep within yourself and create a fully realized record for your adventures in addition to serving as an excellent companion to your gratitude, empathy, or self-care practices.

With so much of our lives and contact going digital, the Creative Keepsakes journals offer an intimate way to nurture your connection with yourself and the people around you. An entertaining way to get off your screen, these guided and free-form journals are great for writers and artists alike. Each journal offers content around a different theme, including silly prompts for a laugh, random yet thoughtful questions, inspiration for art and composition, interactive prompts to learn about your heritage, and blank interiors on high-quality paper stock to use as your creative canvas. Beautifully designed and full of mindful prompts, channel your inspiration as you put pen (or pencil, or marker, or crayon!) to paper to learn more about yourself, your talents, and the people you love.



Also in this Series: 3,001 Questions All About Me, 301 Things to Draw, 301 Writing Ideas, Create Comics: A Sketchbook, Inner Me, Internet Password Book, My Grandmother's Life, 3,001 This or That Questions, My Grandfather's Life, Create the Poem, Complete the Drawing Journal, Mom and Me Journal, Why I Love You Journal, Create the Story, and Destroy & Design This Journal.


My Take on the Books
These journals are set up to walk the "author" through the steps of telling their story. The journals are amazingly well set up and a perfect gift for a family member to preserve their story. This is important because of the fact that at some point there will be an interest in hearing their stories and passing on the stories to future generations. Because the prompts are engaging, people can truly go in depth and share their experiences in a way that they would love to be able to do. I wish I had these for my own grandparents or great-grandparents to better know who they were.
