Forum:Writing techniques?

<<< Back to Off Tropic • <<< Back to Forum

Hello. I was wondering if any of you have any particular techniques when writing an article? --Keybored 00:01, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

What I try to do is write the article. And I try to make it funny. —rms talk 00:50, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

I sit back, connect to the magical world portal, and type the first word that comes to mind. --(ƒî)» 01:00, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

I try to be funny in a sometimes random matter. But I'm not random all the time. And I'm especially not really random. —rms talk 02:20, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

I try not to write anything that makes sense. Also, to really build an article, I use multiple kinds of nonsense. Because yes, there are different kinds of nonsense. Some WHAT!? (talk) (contribs) (edit count) 03:53, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

I copy other people articles with a sarcastic glance on the original article, which ends up looking like a mess.--Ben ^Blade 13:56, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

That's the way to go, IMO. Ben, those redtop guys will be competing for your services in absolutely no time at all. Kerching! -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 19:54, 31 Jeremy 2010 (UTC)

My writing technique is basically a thousand different variations on the theme of "making stuff up." It comes from an odd way of thinking that is often closely tied to staying up late at night. I think it also has something to do with this weird smell that comes from my slippers after I wear them too long. --THE 03:23, 1 Farbleum 2010 (UTC)

I let the ideas flow. Whatever comes to mind, I write about it. If it doesn't work, I try to make it work by being stupid and forcing it to work. If it finally doesn't work still, then I guess it's time to CREATE ANOTHER HARTICLE WITH THAT IDEA!!!! :)))))) DG |Chatty Chaps| 23:29, 26 Farbleum 2010 (UTC)

I find a bunch of words, and rearrange them so that it makes sense. Or in this case, non-sense. -- Dxpenguinman, the Penguinman ...He's e-vile! • Talk • Got An Idea? • GAMESHOW! 11:13, 3 Arche 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I like to copy ideas from the back of cereal packets. Try it yourself! -- Hindleyak  Converse • ?blog • Click here! 11:41, 3 Arche 2010 (UTC)

I write out every word in existence then remove the ones I don't want. -- $H_{olleH}^{ello}$ 20:44, 8 Arche 2010 (UTC)

Close your eyes. Open them. Now close them again. (if the rest doesn't work, look in a bright light) Examine the veins on the inside of your eyelids. Your brain may begin to form these into recognizable shapes based on whatever is lurking in your visual memory. Just type whatever you see that seems nonsensical and unrelated enough. This also helps in being a Jedi! --Nerd42 02:42, 17 Arche 2010 (UTC)
