Aimee, I was already completely enraptured by this post—so much in my wheelhouse — and then you tagged me as a source of inspiration. Thank you! I’ll not only use these questions to probe my relationship with my mom but use to to better understand the fictional daughter and mother at the heart of my novel. Thank you!
Aimee, thank you so much for the recommendation. I am lucky to still have my mother and am going to interview her with your questions. I will do a writing exercise first and answer the questions how I think she would answer, then ask her. Thank you for your wonderful, helpful Substack.
Thank you for this idea Shara! I did have Story Corps in the back of my mind as I played this out. I think your experiment should be valuable. Let me know if you come up with surprises 💞

So glad to hear! I definitely was thinking of you as I played with this, Amy!

Great photo and prompt, Aimee. Depression era mothers are a unique breed. I miss mine every day.
Aimee, thank you for the acknowledgement. This post is a keeper. It's got me thinking so much about my mother and me.
Maybe check out my Substack today. Not about mother but about what's going on.
Well, Nancy, YOU got me thinking and writing about mothering!!! I owe you big time!
Thank you. Thank you.
Love this post and prompts, and thanks for the shout out!
Thanks Marcia. Wonderful to meet you!
