Ooh, thats the mother lode of all questions 🙂 There’s a mapping exercise that can help. What I do is set a kitchen timer for at least 10 minutes (15 minutes are even better). I ask myself to write without thinking and without stopping. Just write. Write about anything. If you can’t come up with ANYTHING, just write “I remember…” and then go. keep writing, no matter what. It does not matter at all what you are writing about or if you’re writing with correct grammar. Just write. When the timer goes off, read what you’ve written aloud to yourself. What is the ONE word that best describes what you’ve been writing about? Once you have that word, either walk around your house or go outside and make photographs that somehow relate to that word. Pretty soon, you’ll possibly forget the word but you will be photographing. This “exercise” is incredibly helpful.

Thank you so much, Nicki x
