# Keep it useful

Keep one useful clue. Check or share if you want. Choose what you wonder next.

## Pick a way

1. Choose an actual clue worth keeping and something you wonder next.
2. Check your story privately against its source. Keep or change one bit with a reason.
3. If your helper offers a suitable new source, use its own empty spaces. Otherwise keep your ordinary story.

Use complete source words with wanted neutral reading. Offer one purposeful part, usual communication, private/rest/finish and exact scribing or child-directed operation. Preserve what actually happened, the child's idea, adult action and supplied record separately. A missing result is not no action.
