11 Words. One Shot. One Short.

October 18, 2009

I know for a fact that no one is reading this blog anymore. I myself have stopped writing in it. The reason is probably embedded in various excuses, but I suppose I tired of complaining or displaying my utterly mundane life with a butter knife.

But this post isn’t about that drivel!

I have started an experiment, a rather selfish one at that, but an experiment nevertheless. I am asking people for 11 words/thoughts/phrases. I’ll take them and compose a short piece of writing with it. In return, all I ask is that the person grades it.

It gives me practice and exercises my brain, but it’s also fun and so far, in my ten days of doing this, I have learned the definitions to at least 11 new words. It’s a pleasure.

I aim to have 365 of these and have 365 DIFFERENT people contribute their 11 words… challenge there too, seeing as I probably don’t know 365 people. But I’ll find them!

Anyway, if you’re reading this and you haven’t already heard me go on about this project, please feel free to submit your 11 words here or on the project website via commenting.

Thanks in advance, as always.
