Often the best writing occurs when a writer arrives on a threshold. At this place the disorder
of experience, emotion or memory meets the ordering power of words.
Recall a memorable experience just before and after it happened. The threshold forced a choice and took you to another place.
Discover the nature of your own personal threshold. Place yourself there and write from that dynamic location. Write the memory of a choice made "just in time."
Bring the reader into your experience at the threshold moment.
How did the choice move you into a better outcome? Write again about the other choice you could have made. Where might that decision have taken you?
