  9. terriorites are ultimately a profile of who you are as a writer. Help you to see yourself. Not just the topics but who you are and how others see you. What you’re about. What your voice will contribute. It gives other writers a window into who you are. Not just to be your audience, but to support you. If you use this technique then we are really a community. (blog categories are sort of like writing territories. An embodiment of what you value. What you believe your voice will add to. Gives a place to go when trying to figure out what to write next. An idea bank that reminds me, “oh yeah -- that’s what I want to do with my voice.” The idea notebook helps me jot down those ideas. The hardest thing about being a good writer, sometimes I look at a blank page, I don’t know where to start. (model with kids on how to overcome it)
