This prompt is inspired by Ianthe Brautigan from her Writers Forum workshop.

Draw a circle with radiating arms, ending in circles (see below).

In the center circle, write a note about a watershed moment where nothing was the same after that: A pivotal moment.

Write details on the radiating circles. Include as many circles as you want for details.

Write into the questions  . . . how did this moment shape me? How did this affect the rest of my life?

Use this prompt to spark a freewrite.

When you are finished with freewriting on this prompt, if you keep a journal, use that for details to flesh out the story.
