  • Summary

  • 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:

    1. Find two obituaries in the newspaper, or copy from a document online
    2. Go through both looking for evocative lines
    3. Copy lines you like from one obituary on to one side of your notebook
    4. Copy lines you like from the other obituary on to the other side of your notebook
    5. Start stitching your two lists of sentences together, combining both sources
    6. Get creative, mash the first half of one sentence with the second half of another - there are no rules here!
    7. 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
