Unlocking Creativity: How Writing Islands Became the Secret to Building My Memoir’s Hidden Archipelago
Years later, I had a mountain of islands — a mixed metaphor I hope you will forgive — that needed to come together. I took the islands on several trips, a variety of colored Post-it notes in hand, to try to organize this what-felt-like-a-mess into … maybe … a book(?). Book drafts deserve to be out in the world breathing fresh air, too! On those weekend trips, I sought a clear direction but found few paths. The albatross still hung from my neck: people asking how the book was going, my mind wanting to move on to a new writing topic but held back by a stack of papers festooned with Post-it notes.
