“Create a morgue file- file where you keep the dead things that you will later reanimate in your work”- Austin Kleone
I have a lot of boxes in storage. Due to space constraints I currently have only one box of my “stuff”.
The stuff is ripped out pages from magazines, pictures, articles, notes, ideas, sketches, etc. These are contents of my ‘morgue file’
Once in a while I go through it and trim it into a slightly smaller version of the box. It never goes away because as I trim I add to the box.
Sometimes I give myself the luxury of going through the file and just re-reading and getting myself inspired. As the author states, it reanimates me and my work.
Today’s question is:
“Do you have a morgue file?”
