Grace Notes @ Snarkattack

I’ve just been reading lifehack.org and learnt about something called Rico clusters. It’s an interesting way of ‘mindmapping’ and seeing as I’m strapped for ideas in the poetry sphere, I decided to do one on my life in the hope that it inspires me to write something, anything! It didn’t really inspire any ideas that I can make a poem out of but I do think I might benefit by showing my psychologist next week at my regular therapy session.

I wish I could show yout my Rico cluster, but I don’t have a scanner otherwise I’d happily scan it up so you could see. It’s quite revealing - according to it I’m obsessed with (surprise, surprise) writing, love and its relatives, and things to do with the senses - in particular sense of hearing and smell and what these can do to relax me. Sickness featured but I don’t think it was anywhere near as dominant as my concerns on writing and love.

Anyway, I recommend you try it out, it’s pretty interesting. My first word was ‘writing’ and my last word was ’self-harm’.
