About this listen
Scissors at the ready! This time Ross is celebrating the fine art of the cut-up technique in which authors slice up texts to create striking new works. We splice two obituaries to create a fictitious hybrid life story.
The Exercise:
- Find two obituaries in the newspaper, or copy from a document online
- Go through both looking for evocative lines
- Copy lines you like from one obituary on to one side of your notebook
- Copy lines you like from the other obituary on to the other side of your notebook
- Start stitching your two lists of sentences together, combining both sources
- Get creative, mash the first half of one sentence with the second half of another - there are no rules here!
- Slowly a brand new character will appear - a whole life story that never existed, one that you’re free to adapt and play with in your writing
