Cut up method for writers

• Write
• Cut up your works of art.
• Discover new things.
• Repeat.

Introduction

The cut up method/technique is a literary technique to form new works of art. It was popularised by William S. Burroughs.

It's like origami - give it some texts you have written and twist them and shape them into new things so that you can tease out things in your subconcious or create something totally new.

Hence the name.
