Writing Exercises?
What, if any, writing exercises do you guys do?
One I like is; The ABC challenge... 4 word lines that follow this template A B C D B C D E C D E F Example: Animosity Beckons Causes Dismay Bureaucracy Created Deficient Estates Callous Defiance Enrages Faces Delirious Envy Fights Greatness |

I'd hate that, esp. for a hiphop forum, it's too stifling for the multies etc which I'd inevitably be trying to use. I could easily do it, I think, I just wouldnt be interested in it and wouldn't like it enough to post it up. There was a time at RB when I used to try writing in all different forms of poetry, just to say I'd done it. i remember one that went like One Two Words Then Three Words Next Its Four Words and it carried on like that and had to rhyme, i forget what type it was called but i liked that one i saw Namix did something recently in the help section that was similar actually

Haha @Serious Do you copy everything? Ive only seen two posts by you today and they are just rip offs of the posts before them, which is a shame because one was a vote smh
@Lars yeah I know what you mean - but sometimes when im on a writers block or something I find writing exercises are a good way to get the mind going. now the open mics back and active you fancy a new collab sometime soon? Think our previous fell on deaf ears |

Yo, just got a text from Deeze asking me to come through for a video shoot he's filming tonight, think I'm gonna have to jam early if Unseen comes through my work place.
Send it me ASAP if you want it doing for tomorrow.

Writing exercises, just keep it simple man.
Try to do 16 to a beat. Write 24 lines, using the exact same scheme all the way through. Practice with different forms to bring fresh life to your lyrics. For example, try your hand at a Shakespearean sonnet, a ghazal, or some haikus. Picture a sad and painful/harsh story happening in the world today, some shit that just makes you feel pity for the world, and write 16 describing it. Then go in the other direction. these exercises should be simple enough, but require repetition. getting better at battling is a bit different. read good battles, but also, watch comedy, stand ups, funny shows, etc where the dialogue is smart and people cut each other. Study puns as well as metaphor development, practice doing that outside of a rhyme structure, in regular life, in conversation, etc.

@IamBenT I wasn't looking for advice... I was wondering what other things people do...
Should I assume that's what you do? If so I will assume by your enthusiasm it has wielded positive responses. |
