Understanding Finding a Story

Finding a Story is the foundational practice of recognising, capturing, and developing narrative ideas from your lived experience, observations, imagination, and curiosity. It is not about waiting for inspiration to strike; it is about actively cultivating awareness of the stories already present in your life and learning to trust your instinct to tell them. Finding a story means understanding that every person has stories worth telling, that your unique perspective matters, and that storytelling is a skill that develops through practice, permission, and persistence.
