We did various 5/10 minute exercises trying out different points of view - and First Person Present was a great one for discovering a character and situation -- 'I wash my hands. The soap slips through my fingers' - Doing this as your own private notes - an exercise before you write the real thing - might prove a fruitful way to get some inspiration. We did it quickly and that helped to uncover some inspiring idea nuggets.

Gel is just a fait accompli and anyway it slips through your fingers too easily and is off down the plughole before you can use it. <br />My grandpa had a neat trick that got me into washing my hands properly when I was about 4. He ran the tap ever so slightly, then got me to wash my hands with soap under the trickle of water. The cool thing about it being that you could see the dirt coming off really clearly and got a rewarding sense of achievement. Ah, the smell of Coal Tar soap. . . The charm wore off over the years though. . . ;-)Jon Burgess Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686489273842347796noreply@blogger.com
