Telling stories
It’s always useful to think about who tells great stories. What books have you loved? What stories do you recall? What makes them work for you? Is it the characters, the setting, the pace of the events, or the surprise nature of the story?

Good habits
Carry a small notebook and pen or pencil with you. That way, you can jot down ideas or words that pop into your head. Keep track of interesting words. Save things that remind you of places you’ve been, like postcards, maps and small souvenirs. The interesting word souvenir means “memory” in French!
