Ep. 2: Invisible People

De: Ross Sutherland

Ross heads out to do some serious people watching. We learn about the many ways the great authors observed the people around them and we try an exercise that uses strangers to spark our imagination.

The Exercise:

1. Find somewhere to sit - a public place with lots of people streaming past
2. Start people watching and quickly scribble down as much as you can about what they’re wearing
3. When they walk out of site just stop and pick another person
4. Enjoy the feeling of just writing without needing to think about what to write
5. You can use the little details you notice to form an army of potential characters to work into your creative writing

not a guided creative writing eoisode

this is a historical op-ed account on past authors and not an episode in creative writing.

very disappointing.

music is dreadful as it's very loud and not kept in the background

finally, the exercise starts at about 28 min in. I highly suggest you skip ahead to this point cuz the rest is utter crap.

I think this will be my last episode.
