A small collection begins with a clear idea.
Write down the point of view
Choose a few words for the collection you want to build. They can help keep a growing set of ideas connected.
Consider each detail together
Shape, color, imagery, and presentation can reinforce one another. Compare your choices as a group before adding more.
Make room to refine
A clear beginning does not need to contain every idea. Keep the strongest details, revisit the rest, and let the collection become more focused.
