Story 45: Coming up

I just finished story number 44 of Volume Two.  Tomorrow morning (Monday, Jan. 22, 2024) I will receive the question for story number 45 of my book.  I probably won't like the question or I will probably have received it when I did Volume One of my book so I've chosen a new question.  Here it is: Story 45: What's your idea of a perfect day?

I have 5 stories/questions/chapters to go at which time I'll begin the time consuming process of editing all 50.  I usually edit them as I go along but I often miss something so I need to do it again.

At this point you're probably wondering what in the world I'm talking about.  Well, let me explain.  Two years ago my son and daughter-in-law got me a Christmas gift in the form of a subscription to a service called Storyworth.  What they do is send you a question every week about some aspect of your life.  The written answer to that question becomes a chapter in what is ultimately a book.  After 52 weeks and after all the editing is done you get to pick out a cover design and a couple of weeks later you get your book.

After answering 52 questions about yourself, you actually end up with an autobiography.  It's a fun process and it really makes you think about your life. 

If you like to write and if you're looking for an interesting activity this may be for you.  Log on to Storyworth.com and check it out.  

Here's a picture of Volume One of my book.
