π Nouns and verbs – Austin Kleon
The first exercise in Jeff TweedyβsΒ How To Write One SongΒ is called a βWord Ladder.β (Not Lewis CarrollβsΒ word game.) It goes like this:
- Make a list of ten verbs related to some profession. (He uses a physician, I used a construction worker.)
- Write down ten nouns within your field of vision.
- Connect the words that donβt usually go together.
