Once you have your 7 or 10 words you are going to add various words that express that part of you to each page.

For example your seven words could be mathematician, poet, woman, sister, lover, health fanatic, believer.  And some of your added words could be lover of people, lover of God, food fundi, machine cook, powerful, wordsworth....
