How do you go about spiraling your Lexigrams?

Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on the steps they take when coming up with them? Or advice to people that are new to Lexigramming.

I usually make lists according to the first letter of each word. All of the "L words" go in one list and so on. Certain words will naturally go together and I jot them down next to each other as they pop out, so I dont forget.

Some Lexi's seem really hard and others seem to just naturally want to come right out. Some seem to write their own story and other's you have to really pull one out. Either way there is a story in there somewhere. Wisdom and secrets that want to come out.

I think the best advice would be to just listen to your intuiton. Don't judge what comes out. Go with the flow.

I make a really random list, with no apparent order at all (cuz that's how my brain works ). Usually at first, I list all the A AN THE OF IN NO, and pronouns... the filler words. After that, I list the other words that I can see.

Then I start to piece the words together into sentences. The first sentences I get rarely make it into the final version... although sometimes, some Lexis just flow right from the beginning, and there's not much editing.

Very cool.

I guess I go about mine in a real Virgo moon kind of way, with the alphabetically organized lists. LOL

I need peace and quiet too.
