This video might be a bit of a jumble because I’m thinking while talking 😆
This idea is new to me and I was so excited to share it: treating your ideas and observations as tiny building blocks that you can snap together or move apart to create new ideas and stories.
Two weeks of experimenting and sticking post-it notes later and I think it’s really working for me, so I wanted to show it to you too!
If you’ve got any questions about what I’m talking about just let me know and I can do an explanation that’s more clear.
Please tell me if you have a more organised system for catching your ideas and keeping hold of them, I’m running out of wall space!
It’s not often I want to thank AI1 for something, but I love that it took a video of me talking about making stories and dummy books and generated this classic caption 😆

When I say AI, I mean the automatically generated video clips from Substack. I do not use AI to generate any content for this newsletter. Also I don’t use AI to generate any illustration or writing anywhere.
