Remix something real
Working on text that already exists is easier than generating from a blank page.
Steps to follow:
- Choose one paragraph: something you wrote before, or a public-domain passage you like.
- Label each sentence by its job: sets up, turns, reveals, closes.
- Rewrite the paragraph about a completely different subject, keeping the same jobs in the same order.
- Do it a second time in a different tone, such as funny or tense.
- Compare all three versions and pull the best phrases into one new draft.
- Note which step felt easiest. That is a clue about your channel.
This kind of building-on-something-real is a big theme in CJ Stewart's book on aphantasia and creativity.
