  • Summary

  • Ross encourages us to harness the power of aliases. We learn about Frances Pessoa, a writer with 75 pseudonyms, and we found an imaginary band and populate their world.

    The Exercise:

    1. Imagine a fictional band and pick a name for them
    2. Give your band a desirable quality you admire but don’t have
    3. Sketch out a brief profile of the band referring to their desirable quality
    4. Name your fictional band’s first single and first EP or album
    5. Come up with the track titles for the songs on your imaginary band’s first album
    6. Take one of the song titles and write the lyrics to that song
    7. The end result is a brand new piece of writing you can use to spark new ideas

Terrific with one exception

Excellent podcast but I definitely could’ve done without the background music. I don’t mind a little intro music at the beginning or end of each podcast but all of these little twangy sound effects throughout really became annoying

The background music/sound is distracting

I loved the idea of this and the speaker has great experience in the subject matter but the sound/music in the background is so distracting and really *grating* to me to the point I just couldn’t listen all the way through. :-(

Get Rid if the Music!

This looked like it could be a really good listen. I read the reviews and thought How bad could the music be? It’s horrible, it’s annoying, it’s completely distracting and makes it extremely difficult to focus on what he’s saying.

Good ideas PLEASE STOP the music

I’d love to try and listen again if you get rid of the noise or “music” in the background. The noise is disturbing and absolutely not necessary. I could only listen for 3 - 4 minutes because of the noise. Please please please get rid of music.
