From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Strange Planet
and NYC Basic Tips and Ettiquette and Strange Planet comes 99
Stories I Could Tell, a guided journal with 99 prompts plus a
customizable cover.
Nathan Pyle takes journalers for a creative ride through the pages of
this product--each prompt comes with a mix of black lines (solid
boundaries to color) and blue lines (to trace and use as a jumping off
point for further imagination. The prompts move from extremely suportive
towards the start of the journal (giving the journaler lots of structure
so as not to intimidate them) to more free-form, the idea being that the
journaler's skills will increase the more they progress.
The prompts themselves are a collection of inventive and humorous trips
down memory lane, helping journalers curate and draw their most prized
recollections, and also to unearth memories they didn't know they had (a
lie you were told as a child that you believed until recently, or the
first fictional death you experienced). With a well-honed sensibility
for what shares well online and what people are searching for, each of
the 99 stories has been chosen because it prompts emotional resonance
and will be content people will be excited to share on their social
media. The prompts can also be mixed and matched to create all new
narratives, the way musical notes can be lined up differently to make
new tunes.
Package wise, this journal is a large square, big enough to satisfy
doodlers, but light enough to easily fit in a backpack or totebag. The
book's jacket is a silk-screened PVC case which adds to the nostalgic
feel (reminiscent of a toy); the jacket is also removeable to reveal an
uncoated cover where journalers can embellish the design in their own
way, making each and every journal totally customizable.
