Creating 10 Magic Words
Your Podcast Consultant - A podcast by Dave Jackson - Fridays
Categories:
In Monday's School of Podcasting I have Eric Nuzum who is the author of Make Noise A Creators Guide to Podcasting and Great Audio Storytelling. One of the exercises is pretty hard: Here is is:
Describe your idea in no more than ten words, and do so in a way that describes nothing else in the world. The fun part is you CAN'T use any of these words.
Amazing
Astounding
Awesome
Beautiful
Best
Brilliant
Classic
Compelling
Curious
Diverse
Extraordinary
Fabulous
Fantastic
Fascinating
Fresh
Great
Incredible
In-Depth
Lovely
Outstanding
Quality
Remarkable
Riveting
Sensational
Spectacular
Stunning
Superior
Thoughtful
Tremendous
Unbelievable
Unique
World Class
If you find yourself wanting to use one of these words, I have an easy anecdote. Simply answer why. Why is it beautiful? Why is it fascinating? Why is it spectacular? The answer to your “why” question is your distinct descriptor. Use it instead.
