Sentence Starters

18/5/2020

​I write lists in the back of my notebook. Or sometimes on scraps of paper. These ‘sentence starters’ becoming the perfect jumping off point into your writing.

This first sentence starter is called ‘The Time’. The point is to list as many standout moments as possible.

For instance, it could start:

The time our daughter was born.
The time we went to Italy.
The time I met Sarah
The time Josephine flooded our apartment.

Later on, reading through these lists becomes the perfect place to start writing. What you are looking for is to remember as much detail as possible.  Detail is the gold dust of writing that gives your work life.

So begin now, start listing the most interesting moments in your life.  Try to write twenty lines. Often the most difficult lines to write are the most interesting ideas to develop.
