Takes a finished draft of something you've written or something existing in an old book and cut it up with scissors. The cutting can be of paragraph, sentence, phrase, or word by word, or a combination of all of these.
After cutting up the writing, stick the pieces back together, experimenting with different ways of organising the paper until you feel most happy with it. (Magnetic words are good to use too if you have them).
Making serious sentences into silly, witty, whimsical or Nonsensical verse is very freeing and is very good if you're feeling uninspired.
“One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.”
A. A. Milne (English Humorist, creator of Winnie-the-Pooh, 1882-1956)
