High Points, Low Points and Turning Points: A Personal Narrative

Each of these pivotal junctures in our lives can be rich grist for the creative mill. Indeed, the intensity of powerful personal experiences can make stories more engaging and more riveting.

Step 1: Brainstorm High. Low and Turning Points

Using a table format, brainstorm 5 High Points, 5 Low Points, and 5 Turning Points in your life thus far.
Use point-form notes, which may include a short code or phrase or quote to identify for your eyes only, what the gist of each point signifies. This is a draft for you. No one else will look at it or grade it, but the process of examining your life for events that stand out in some fashion will help propel a piece of creative non-fiction or a story.
Step 2: Choose the heat.

Choose the top three events from your brainstormed lists. Which are the most potent? Which are the ones that really speak to you?
Then, after you have three narrowed down, see if there may be a common thread. Is there a link between that low point and turning point? Are the narrative threads connected?

Step 3: Write.

Write a story based on one of the hottest or most visceral points in your life. Choose whether the point of view voice will be first person ("I") or whether the tale will be told from the perspective of a third person narrator. You could review point of view...

2. Feel free to embellish. Exaggerate. Add untruths to the base of non-fiction. Fiction is usually based on some aspect of real experience that the writer has crafted to be their own.

3. Make this story your own. Remember, this is your personal narrative.
