Fable & The Verbivore

Episode 257: Writing Exercise: Making it Weird


Listen Later

Notes:

Fable and the Verbivore continue their conversation about sticky Images and surprising details by doing an on-the-fly thought experiment about how to take something normal (like brushing teeth or gargling) and make it surprising or memorable. This idea was originally inspired from the episode on preparing for conferences or book signings using the anecdote that author Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club) brings plastic severed mannequin arms to set out on his table and give out to attendees. It’s weird and creepy, but does a great job of representing his brand.
