The magic of memories 
Welcome to my website. Using your memory as a starting point for writing can have many positive and exciting outcomes. Please join me, Rosalind Adam, as I muse over the power of memory, the magic of writing and how to explore the mind with your pencil. 

Memories and writing  for children 
When we write for children quite often the most useful resource we have is our memory.  We all have first-hand experiences to draw on. We were all children once.

The therapeutic value of memory writing

Memory writing is magic. This might sound inane but there is certainly something magical that happens when you start to write down your memories. Words appear that you didn't know were about to appear. You find yourself writing down thoughts that you never even knew you were thinking about. This sort of writing can:
  • keep your brain active
  • spark ideas for creative writing  
  • provide a mass of material for autobiographical work 
  • AND it's great fun

  Below is a group using photographs to trigger ideas for a writing project.

Using our memory as a resource for writing provides endless possibilities.

I can't always remember why I walked into a room but I can remember when:
  • you could buy sweets for a farthing
  • the local factory siren sounded every morning at the start of work
