When I posted this question I knew that the answer would probably lie somewhere within font-lock-add-keywords, but I was unable to find it until I started googling for 'font-lock-keyword-face' which I was already using. This search then lead me to these two pages [1] and [2].
And that lead to this code which achieves what I was trying to accomplish, the text within the square boxes to be coloured totally different from its surrounding text, meaning that now I can write my book and leave myself reminders of various questions, which when I've found the answers can then be deleted.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(font-lock-add-keywords 'org-mode
'(("\\[\\(.*\\)\\]"
1 font-lock-type-face prepend)))
#+END_SRC

Thanks
Sharon.
