 “You need your broccoli to write well. It
means when you don’t know what to do,
when you don’t know whether your
character would do this or that, you get
quiet and try to hear that still small voice
inside. It will tell you what to do.”
Anne Lamott
(Author of “Bird by Bird”)

“What would you write about if you
were writing your autobiography?”
 Name your lemon
 If you were a lemon, where would you have been
born?
 If you were a lemon, what experiences would you
have had before arriving in this workshop?
 If you were a lemon, how might those experiences
have shaped your personality?
 Describe your lemon, noting down its
characteristics and determining what makes it
different from other lemons you have seen.
 What is the similarity between the
group of lemons and you as a group?
How are people in this workshop like
you, but different as well?

 What is the meaning behind this

activity? Is there a moral to the
story?
 Although each lemon is similar to other
lemons, each has markings and
characteristics that make it an individual;
despite these differences, they are equally
lemons.

 Each of us is an individual one of a kind;

there are no duplicates of any of us. Even
identical twins have different fingerprints.
