Bellows is a toolkit for writers who want help getting unstuck. Songs, poems, prose, or a stray idea: every tool gives you a way to spark your writing through a constraint, a prompt, a fresh angle. TOOLS - Cut-Up Technique. Slice text into fragments and recombine them into lines you would never have written straight through. The Burroughs and Bowie trick for breaking your own habits. - Song Structure. Build a song one section at a time. Start from a common layout or your own, then fill in the words section by section. - Freewrite. A timed, no-editing write to quiet the inner critic. Turn on No Backspace and keep moving until the timer ends. - Object Writing. Write one concrete object through the seven senses to pull specific, vivid detail into your work. - Constraint Game. Spark a verse under playful limits: a hand of given words to work in, plus an optional banned letter. A constraint is easier to answer than a blank page. - Antonym Writing. Write the literal opposite of what you mean, then flip it back. A reliable way to find a fresher angle than the obvious one. - Word Ladder. Jeff Tweedy's trick: name a job and list what it does, then list what is around you. Shuffle the two columns into pairs and write from the collisions. - Notebook. A fast place to catch a title, a thought, or a stray line before it slips away. Capture quickly, then file it into a notebook. The Jot an Idea widget starts a note right from your Home Screen or Lock Screen. WIDGETS - Jot an Idea. A Home Screen widget in small and medium sizes that opens straight into a fresh note. One tap and you are writing. - Lock Screen. The same shortcut as a circular or inline Lock Screen widget, so a line that arrives at 2 a.m. gets caught before it fades.
