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.
