We write before knowing what to say and how to say it, and in order to find out, if possible.
(Jean-Francois Lyotard, 1992, Philosopher.)

Write to LearnWe know, understand, intuit, remember, feel, think more than we realise. Writing can enable expressive exploration of areas to which logical or analytic thinking has limited access. For a grasp across the spectrum of experience we need to use ‘the full tetrad of fact, logic, metaphor and story’ (McCloskey, 1992, Economist.)www.gilliebolton.com
Knowledge is limited.
Imagination
encircles the world.

Observation – perceptive, empathetic – the heart of professional practice: psychology, law, police, medicine, health, social work, education.
Acute, accurate observation – cornerstone of research into science, literature, social science, history, natural sciences.
Reflective writing’s observation of any aspect of events, people and surroundings borrows techniques and strategies from all these.

and only a mind which knows how to
play can do that.’ Nagle Jackson
