Welcome to “Etched Memories,” a quirky writing adventure led by Sage Tyrtle (Vol.1 contributor). Sage, who was born with a cleft palate, will have you chuckling and embracing your quirks in no time.
Picture this: you, Sage, and a bunch of fellow story enthusiasts diving into a pool of kindness, splashing around in the beauty of our quirks, scars, and birthmarks. “Etched Memories” is the merry-go-round of body positivity, and you’re invited!
So, hop on the happiness train (it’s okay, we changed out of our bathing suits) and let Sage’s positivity give your self-esteem a turbo boost. By the time you’re done, you’ll see your body as a canvas painted with the colors of your life, each quirk and imperfection adding a unique, whimsical twist to your personal masterpiece. Come along, be silly, and let’s turn our etched memories into a story that’s all about celebrating you!
Key Take Aways:
- at least one draft to work on later
- positive ways to write about body quirks
- two positive hours with others who have marks too
