I find that when I do an activity that is automatic, like driving or washing dishes, ideas or solutions will come to the problem I've been working on. When this happens, I make sure to write it down immediately. I scribble notes on scraps of paper, napkins, whatever I can find. I also carry a pen and notebook in my purse if I'm out. I keep my little notebooks and scraps of papers for years so when I use something I've jotted down, I make sure to put a check mark next to it.(less)

And if I don't know how I feel, I can write and write until I know what that feeling is. Writing allows us to get very microscopic about feelings that we sometimes can't share in real life. But when these writings become part of a book, song, poem, comic, story, that is shared with an audience, it can resound in the hearts and minds of people from all backgrounds.(less)
