LOOK INSIDE
 
Look before you buy. Gabay's Copywriters' compendium is everything a copywriter needs. We know it, and after you have taken a brief look at the opening of each chapter of the book - so will you.

 
Chapter 16 : Get your tongue around this....(tongue twisters)
Back to Chapter Index
 

If I am to write a chapter on the upside down world of tongue twisters, I should make an effort not to write a preview, but first a summary…

…In conclusion, to write a quick and apt tongue twister, draw up a list of nouns, proper nouns, verbs and descriptive words (adjectives and adverbs) all starting with a particular letter (e.g.‘d’).

nouns
names
 verbs
adverbs
dream
David
 dream
deeply
damsel
Daisy
dance
defectively

• Write the first line of a story that makes sense.
• Add a second line, featuring words from your list, that develops the story.

• Next add a rhythm.
Go to the last page of the chapter to see how this particular one turned out...
