UNLOCKED MEMORIES: Writing the Story of Your Life
with Dr. ALEC GILL and AUDREY DUNNE

I REMEMBER WHEN... by Maisie Turner

I wish I'd paid attention
When mother reminisced,
Now no-one's left to fill me in
On all the bits I missed.

There are many details missing,
Facts I can't recall,
The Whens, Whys and Wherefores
Now no-one knows at all.

When elders of the family
Began, 'I Remember When...'
I'd raise my eyes to Heaven
And think 'Here they go again!'

Oh! how I wished I'd listened,
Now they've all gone to earth.
I've lost a chunk of history
From times before my birth.

WRITING ADVICE by Rudyard Kipling

I KEEP SIX HONEST WORKING MEN
THEY TAUGHT ME ALL I KNEW
THEIR NAMES ARE:
'WHAT' & 'WHY' & 'WHEN'
& 'HOW' & 'WHERE' & 'WHO'
   
P.S. to this list, I add 'WHICH' and arrive at my 7WH formula for writing.
