Start here / Free sample

Try the idea.

Pick one childhood obsession. Now ban yourself from naming the object. Describe only what you DID with it.

Give yourself a smaller starting point

One object. One sentence. One rough attempt. You can always take it further if it catches your interest.

How do I know I’m finished?

When you’ve tried it and have something to notice, keep or change. It doesn’t need an audience or a grade.

Put it to use

Open it. Pick a page.
See what happens.

Save your Fillable PDF after purchase. Type directly into the work areas and save your copy, or print the working pages. Keep your notes in a notebook if that’s easier. Start with the part that made you curious.
