  7. Let’s cluster! • Come up with three cluster models. • In the middle of a piece of paper, write a single word that seems central to your story idea. • Write another word that is associated to the central word and connect the two. • Keep writing words that relate to each other. • Don’t try to be logical • Work fast so not to be tempted to ponder over your associations. • Let your mind flow freely. • Clusters seem to have a natural limit so don’t force yourself. • Once finished look at the final model and search for possible patterns. • Patterns will reveal some novel connections and relationships that serve as a springboard for the next phase of production.

  8. Clustering Clustering is similar to brainstorming except it creates an immediate visual pattern that yields quite readily the major interrelationships of the various ideas.
