Boxes...



Memories box:  collect memories in a box with  a set of index cards - every time you have a memory, write it down and put it in the box, in the right year. Alternatively, collect memories by theme.

Fear box:  whatever scares or blocks you right now in  your writing process - write it down and throw inside.

Secrets box: collect what is not said, written about, acknowledged, announced - stories, feelings, themes, people, events, situations, relationships, betrayals, shame. What is the secret underneath your story/piece/book?

Map: everyone needs a map for where they're going in their book/piece, even if it's a messy one!

Compass: necessary for re-orientating the work at times.
