Toolbox Revisited

[jazzy_dave]

Basically, it comes with three sets of sticks, First sentence, non-sequitur, last sentence, which you can shuffle, a three-minute timer, a set of sixth sense cards and four rotating wheels of protagonist, goals, obstacles, and action plus a manual.



Each has a phrase or set of words which you blindly can pick up at random, and as many or few as you want, and from that start writing for three minutes from what is given. These are tools to stop the brain from seizing up and the logical side of the brain saying I cannot do this and let your creative side of the brain flow.

So as you can see, it is a tool of sorts, but I do see a time when all the parts will be used up. and then what - well, the manual suggests cutting out words and phrases from newspapers and magazines and then use them randomly and fit stories around the phrases. Nothing new in that as William Burroughs used that very idea.
