30 Day Storytelling Challenge
Storytelling is an ancient tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. First orally, then written, now visually.
Stories captivate and connect us.
Are you telling your story? The story of your family, your home, your job, your hobbies, yourself? The story of now.I believe that telling your story is an art form. From the light you capture to the words you choose, your story has an angle. What is it?Sometimes I find I can be a little disconnected from my story and neglect to tell it. In October I will be diving back into my current story, the story of my home and my life, and sharing it. I'll be telling my story through photography and writing and I'll be using the great campfire of instagram to gather round and tell it.I am formally inviting you to tell you story alongside me. On Sunday September 30 we will start off with a free webinar where I will remind you of why your story is important and that YOUR everyday story can be magic if you slow down and look. Then I will teach you my favorite tips for taking and editing beautiful photos of your life (using only your phone) and then share an easy formula to help you write your accompanying stories out. Then in October, the first 5 days are open to everyone to tell your story with my free photography and writing prompts. Then the rest of the month, the students in Stories From Here and I will continue posting and telling our stories together with the goal of telling 30 stories each.The course has 200 prompts to choose from or I will send out the 30 I will be using to the course students if you want a little less choice and a little more direction. The course also has tons of video tutorials on editing and photography. Plus! There will be a prize for the winner!
Here is how the challenge will work:
Kickoff: Free webinar September 30 October 1-30: each day post a photo and tell a story using one of the prompts from the course on instagram using the tag #storiesfromhereclass and your personal story hashtag. At the end of the 30 days, if you completed all 30 you will be entered to win a $25 iTunes gift card so you can buy more editing filters or have a fun movie night or whatever you do with iTunes money!If you would like to join the webinar, sign up here and you'll get access to the webinar, the replay and the first 5 days of the challenge free. If you want to join in on the whole challenge, snag a seat in my course Stories From Here. Either way, I'm excited to see you on Sunday!
