SOURCES FOR STORIES
Several filmmakers have asked where they can find stories for this year challenge. Several suggestions are:
Family and Friends (ask your Mom, you Aunt, your neighbours if they have anything from you or their kids)
Contact one of your old Grade School teachers - some of them may still have stories you wrote in their archives.
Some schools do a "publication" of their student writings - check your local schools and libraries, for archive versions of these.
Grade School Yearbooks often featured writing by students. Contact your old Elementary school to see if they have archive copies.
"Stories", can also include, journals, plays, poems or any other form of creative writing.
