Came
across another interesting writing exercise, from a book called Writing in the House of Dreams by JennyAlexander. It is about what creating what she calls Seed Stories, that is, memories
which can provide material for future writing. She says:
…three random incidents you can remember
from your childhood can contain the seeds of all your stories in later life.
They have to be private
memories, things which no one has ever talked about, so you can be certain they
are authentically yours. They can’t be the sort of anecdotes people in the
family remember and share, because those have a kind of group ownership.
You write about each seed story for no longer than ten
minutes.
