Raw: First Experience 💔🚲🚗👩❤️💋👩
Can you remember a ‘first’ from your life?
A first kiss, your first heartbreak, the very first time you danced/wrote/painted/made something new...
First time you rode a bike, climbed a tree, swam in the sea...
For Edition Four of our RAW Series, Random Acts of Writing, I invite you to delve into that ‘first’ moment from your past. Take a breath and immerse yourself in the memory, transport yourself there and feel again as you did... sometimes that can be joyous, sometimes painful or embarrassing, but always interesting!
Trust me on that... 😉
What do you see? what do you feel?
Let the memory evoke the senses...
Here’s how to begin:
1. Set a timer for 7 minutes.
2. Grab your pen and paper or open your laptop.
3. …let it flow
I’d love to hear about your creative endeavour the good, the bad, the downright ugly —share your experiences in the comments below if you so wish...
