Today we carried out the first part of our second writing workshop.
Exercises included:

• I remember...
• Joe Brainard wrote a novel called I Remember and it's basically a collection of paragraphs all starting with the words 'I remember'.
• Spend 10 minutes writing a short collection of “I remember” stories.
