Memoir Games

by Charles Huang (USA)

Genre: journaling game

Memoir Games is an anthology of journaling games that use your memories to create drawings and writings, inspired by the transformative power of my own experiences journaling. Part part drawing exercise, part writing prompt, you’ll draw from your personal experiences and tell your story.

In each Memoir Game, you will follow a series of instructions which will instruct you to write and draw to reflect on your life. Do not worry about making things perfect, professional, or even for other people-- this is an exercise for yourself, and for you to share.

Inspirations include: Tree of Life Narrative Therapy Exercise by David Denborough Reflections at Sunset by Muditaheart

What You Will Need: - Something to write and draw with (e.g. Pen and paper) - Peace of mind to express yourself (e.g. peace and quiet, privacy, emotional readiness) - (Optional) Mementoes of your memories
