Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer. ~ Barbara Kingsolver
In Collecting Your Writing Territories, Consider . . .
memories: early, earlier, and recent favorites, now and then
obsessions pets,
now and then
idiosyncrasies teachers,
now and then
problems places:
school, camp, trips, times away with friends and relatives
dreams hobbies
itches sports
understandings music
confusions games
passions books
sorrows poems
risks songs
accomplishments movies
fears writers
and artists
worries food
fantasies pet
peeves
family, close
and distant beloved
things-objects and possessions, now and then
friends, now
and then all
the loves of your life
fads
