I'm saving this. For some strange reason my brain is wired to shut out 'techniques' ... no idea, a rebellion against learning from my youth, that much is obvious! But I like the look of this and I want to try it. Thanks for sharing, Debs

Maybe this will a technique that changes all that for you! 😊 Let me know how you get on with it, and what you use it for.

Oh, I like this. I'm going to try it as a plot brainstorming device, I think.

Oh, it's already made it clear that what I thought was a minor character is actually a mover and shaker. I mean, I may have worked that out eventually. But realising now is so much more helpful.

Challenge accepted. I'm going to try this for the next three weeks while life is quiet and I am sorting myself out without the distraction of work or other duties. Will report back. I may just have to integrate this into my classrooms as well. Exciting.

Thank you, Karen! It works like a dream, for me anyway. It's opened up so many avenues of ideas for my fiction writing, and in my personal journaling / Mappery Moodles journey!
