Lol, nothing is ever too weird if you're using it to inspire the imagination. My best friend and I used to use paint samples (the kind you get in a booklet) to develop characters! Man, were we embarrassed the first few times other people saw us playing with a bunch of colour chips, some glue and scissors!! “…you always have a faint suspicion that your method for doing things is bizarre and probably should be kept hidden in a dark corner somewhere…”

I've had something since February, and I can't shake it. It's not currently keeping me in bed, but it's no fun being sick. My weekend was much busier than I thought it would be, so I didn't get to far through the book, but what I did read has me excited to get back to it when I'm ready to start something new. I agree with <a href="#comment-24795" rel="nofollow">Ashtal's comment</a> about the Questions stuff. It should be obvious, but it wasn't for me. Thanks for explaining it so well. Jay Hey Holly,

Hope you feel better. I’ve had something since February, and I can’t shake it. It’s not currently keeping me in bed, but it’s no fun being sick.

My weekend was much busier than I thought it would be, so I didn’t get to far through the book, but what I did read has me excited to get back to it when I’m ready to start something new.

I agree with Ashtal’s comment about the Questions stuff. It should be obvious, but it wasn’t for me. Thanks for explaining it so well.

Lots of food for thought, even though I haven't yet gotten a chance to put the tools into practice. My free time clusters on weekdays, so I hope to give it a shot today and tomorrow. The one tool that's really caught my attention so far is, weirdly enough, the first one, Questions. Open-ended verses Yes/No, wide open spaces instead of a single door. It's a paradigm shift for me, yet strangely familiar, as if I'd forgotten it a long time ago and you've rung bell that cleared my head. Thank you.
