RKA Writing The site that invites you to write

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
