UNLOCKED MEMORIES:
Writing the Story of Your Life
with ALEC GILL and AUDREY DUNNE
BEGINNINGS
So we have looked at WHEN, WHERE, HOW, WHAT to write and WHO to write about.
Given this background and mass of data, it will soon be time to put pen to paper.
How to begin? Lots of ways.
WHAT to WRITE?
What will you write about?
Free-range? See SPARKING OFF MEMORIES! list.
Or should we agree to stick to a set theme which everyone writes about?
CONCLUSION: Start to draft short pieces about whatever topic / aspect takes your
fancy. Don't worry about the bigger picture at this early stage.
ARC: They can put some of these stages into practice straight away as an exercise
between sessions.

NOTE:
"I am being paid to tell you what you already know! Its a bit like me selling
you something you already have. I firmly follow the ancient Greek view that YOU already
know all there is to know in this world. Nothing new under the sun... Mine is an easy job.
Yours is to recognize the power and knowledge you already possess!"
