About

Welcome to StoryPrisms!

I’m Maureen Crawford, a storyteller, educator, researcher and all-round eclectic who is curious about just about everything. I have created over 300 personal StoryPrisms and continue learning that ordinary moments contain extraordinary wisdom.

This website contains techniques and examples to inspire and encourage you to write your own StoryPrisms.

Story Prisms are:

• Small (400-800 word narratives)
• Conversational (written in everyday language)
• Specific (tightly focused)

StoryPrisms can be used as:

• Gifts (delivered like Advent countdowns)
• Memoir (a collection of reflections)
• Personal development (for solo purposes only)
• Family Histories (as legacy projects)
• Genealogy (fleshing out documents & family trees)

StoryPrisms Provide:

• Permission to tell your story, your way
• A way to preserve memories and gain insights

Join in the fun.

Learn. Remember. Write. Share. Repeat.
