Feel like making a book but writing long prose isn't your thing? Here are some other ways you can create a book or a zine or something in between.

Found poetry: Create all kinds of verse from collected random texts like newspaper articles and ads, old books, junk mail, street signs, or anything else that comes into your notice. Arrange the words to create your pieces. Consider theming these by month, occasion, holiday, mood, or location in order to create enough pieces to make a book.

Cut-Up technique: In the manner of William S. Burroughs, cut existing texts and rearrange them to create new pieces.

Photo prompts: Using photographs as a prompt - either ones you take yourself or found images - you could write stories, essays, poems, affirmations, or other things inspired by the images you have.

Constrained writing: Exploring different types of constrained creative styles, you can create all sorts of pieces of writing or art that can be collated together into a single piece. There are endless ways of creating constraint. You could end up with more material than you know what to do with!

You could also create a book that includes all the work you create from all these ideas. Make your own coffee table curiosity!
