But I think Evolving Storylines is much more explicitly based on the idea of evolutionary process, and it is more focused on development of stories made up out of multiple contributions, not just finding good free standing contributions. But I would need to spend more time reading about "brain writing" (not the nicest phrase that could be used) Hi Soundararajan

Can you please throw some light on how this technique differs from brain writing. Dear Dr Davies

It is a very interesting and easily usable tool.

Can you please throw some light on how this technique differs from brain writing.

I think Development Practitioners need to adopt such simple and very participatory methods like the Evolving storylines in our work and professional practice to enhance development impact at the grassroots level. Thanks for your creativity, Dr. Davies, I'll be happy to participate in trainings, and read more materials on this methodology for my learning and improvement of my practice. Cheers! Great Work Sir!
