Writing Your Spoken-word Piece

The composing concept — where the whole unit becomes a thing you make. From what's worth saying out loud? all the way to a full draft you could stand up and perform. Four short steps, each with its own toy to play with.

1 Where it comes fromFind your seed — the one thing you can't shut up about — and write for the ear, not the eye. 2 How to do itThe four moves: hook → build → turn → landing. Drag them into shape and hear it climb. 3 Where it gets trickyFlat openings, rambling middles, and lines too long to say in one breath. 4 Out in the wildCompose a full draft using everything — with a live checklist that ticks off as you go.
