Alright, so today's workshop is going to be centered on taking the map you created (if you haven't, check out this post from yesterday) and turning it into an idea to write from.

 

Pick something, ANYTHING, from that list and create a collection of things you could talk about using it. We call this Mind Mapping in Elementary School Ed, but I'm sure there's a better, more professional term for it than Brainstorming.

 

Keep in mind, this list/map doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you! So, let's see what we can do!

My topic from my Heart Map: Angels

 

My crazy list:

Guardians

wings

feathers

Fate

Destiny

protection

power

Heaven

Hell

Purgatory

Earth-bound

life

death

halo

light

darkness

Fallen

holy

 

 

 

I'll be back to edit in more later.

 

 

here's my mind map, just in case you were curious about what it looks like...

they connect together in a wierd way...

and beautiful handwriting, too. ;)

 

so, which of those things is screaming at you to write about? Or, heck, loop a couple of them together and see what happens?

 

 

big blankets and Ancient European history?
