Ever feel stumped on what to write? Here’s a trick to jumpstart your creativity: tap into what you know—and what you don’t! The concept of the “four quadrants” can help clarify where you’re at and where to go next in your writing process. As former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once said:

Dalyla, not Delilah, though it sounds the same. I’m a southern gentlewoman, a product of my roots—honeysuckles, lightning bugs, and a rich blend of cultures. I’m a word person, a griot, a storyteller. I ask questions that make you think and share stories that make you feel.

I’m Black, non-binary, Indigenous, Southern, and all the beautiful things that come with it. I embrace my full, authentic self, and I’ll fight to protect it. My legacy will be one of integrity.

That’s just me. Dalyla.
