About this listen
Ross teaches us to listen to words in a new way by forcing them into unusual formations. We discover a technique that automatically disrupts our writing, pushing us into exciting new territory.
The Exercise:
- Grab a favourite book from your childhood
- Take the each word of the text, look each up in a dictionary or on dictionary.com
- Count seven words down in the dictionary
- Make a note of your new word and replace the original from the childhood book
- Don’t be afraid to break the rules - if the word seven words down doesn’t feel like a good fit, then scan the dictionary page for a more suitable word
- Doing this you’ll quickly end up with an all new, highly surreal story that contains echoes of the original
- The surreal sentences you’ll be left with are the perfect source material to spark fresh ideas
