Description

Feeling stuck, out of ideas, or simply wanting to draw some entertainment out of your next draft? Try a new creative writing technique with cut-ups. The cut-up technique has been used by writers, musicians, artists, and creatives for decades to brainstorm fresh and meaningful compositions out of the blue — conquering writer's block and having a bit of fun too.

NOW WITH AI-POWERED FEATURES!
Take your creativity even further with AI-assisted writing. Import AI-generated texts into the app and let AI help you refine your cut-ups by suggesting phrases that perfectly match your existing text. Whether you're looking for seamless transitions, surprising wordplay, or an extra spark of inspiration, our intelligent AI ensures that every cut-up flows naturally while maintaining its creative edge.

WHAT IS THE CUT-UP TECHNIQUE?
The cut-up technique involves taking your text, cutting it up into pieces, and then rearranging the pieces to create an entirely new text. It can be used in any kind of writing, from songwriting, creative writing, poems, lyrics, and beyond. The best part is that it forces you out of your comfort zone and helps you find inspiration, unique ideas, and helpful prompts in ways you've never thought about before.
