StoryWorth:录下家人的故事,印成一本书
StoryWorth for iPhone – record family stories and print them as a book
导读
这是 StoryWorth 推出 iPhone 应用的产品发布帖:通过每周向长辈发送问题提示,引导他们写下家庭故事,最终可集结成书。对写作者的价值在于展示了“提示式提问”如何激发普通人写出丰富、有细节的个人回忆。
可以直接用的写作要点
- 01
好的提问提示能引出远超预期的细节:一个简单问题(“你小时候最喜欢的玩具是什么?”)可以带出 465 字的生动回忆。
- 02
具体细节(如“男孩玩偶比女孩玩偶便宜”)比笼统叙述更能让故事真实动人。
- 03
写作的私密感和安全感很重要:知道读者是谁、内容只在家人之间分享,长辈才愿意敞开心扉写。
- 04
定期的小问题比“写一本书”的大目标更容易让人坚持写作。

简单的提示问题能引出长辈丰富细腻的回忆,具体细节让故事格外珍贵。
我妈妈很期待 StoryWorth 的问题,会花很多心思写回答。虽然有些故事我小时候听过,但通过她的回答我发现了更多细节。比如我知道她最喜欢的玩具是洋娃娃,但当被问到“你童年最喜欢的玩具是什么”时,她写了 465 字!我了解到:小时候家里经济条件不好没什么玩具,大约五岁时父亲去美国留学一年,回来带给她一个大惊喜——一个漂亮的洋娃娃。因为是男孩玩偶比女孩玩偶便宜,所以没有公主裙和金色长发,但她还是非常开心。我非常珍惜这些故事,希望有一天能讲给我的孩子听。

My mom looks forward to her StoryWorth questions and puts a lot of thought and time into writing her answers. Even though I may have heard some of the stories growing up, I've discovered so much more through her StoryWorth responses. For example, I knew that one of my mom's favorite toys was her doll, but when StoryWorth asked, "What were your favorite toys as a child?" my mom replied with a 465 word response! I learned much more detail: "I didn't have a lot of toys as a child because of my family financial situation...but I remember when I was about five years old, my father got a chance to study in the US. When he came home after a year he brought me a big surprise. I got a beautiful doll, you can imagine how happy I was. It was a boy doll because a boy doll was cheaper than a girl doll. She didn't have a princess dress or long blonde hair, but I was still very excited..." I really cherish the stories and hope to share with my children one day.
父母辈乐于通过定期提示写下自己的故事。
我用 StoryWorth 一年多了,我父母很喜欢写他们的故事。不知道他们最近推出了打印成实体书的功能,一定要试试。

I started using StoryWorth more than a year ago. My parents love writing their stories. Didn't know they recently started letting you print them to an actual book, definitely giving it a try.
私密性和家人间的分享让长辈更愿意写作,故事还能变成有意义的礼物。
我用 StoryWorth 几个月了,很高兴能用上新 iPhone 应用。我妈妈和岳母都回答了好几个故事提示,而且知道故事只在我们之间私密分享,她们写起来很自在。最近(当然是在奶奶们许可下)我邀请了我的姐妹和丈夫来阅读这些故事,希望最终能把它们做成书作为礼物。

I've been using StoryWorth's online service for a few months. Excited to use the new app on my iPhone! Both my mom and my mother-in-law have responded to several of the story prompts and feel comfortable now knowing the stories they submit are private between us. Recently (with permission from the Grandmas of course) I invited my sisters and my husband to have access to the stories and I hope to eventually turn them into books as gifts. Thanks!
