Creative writing has many known benefits, yet often people are intimidated by the prospect of starting. One way to dive into creative writing is through documenting your personal memories and life moments that might otherwise disappear. You don't have to start with make-believe stories if that feels too difficult. You can write about your life, loves and experiences, and in doing so, you can treasure them forever. Even passing them on to family as your legacy. Thoughtful, creative writing can actually help save precious memories.
