We remember life events when they've changed us in some way. We are all born storytellers. All day long we communicate in story. The more that is at stake, the more vivid the details, and deep the emotion, the more engaging the story.

If you can step back into a memory and allow it to come alive for you, you'll be able to tell that story and bring it to life for your reader or listener. If you can tell the story, then you can write it! Putting words on paper is the easy part.
