oneword idea

[firecat]

If you have been doing a lot of oneword writing exercises:

Would you be willing to post all (or many) of yours together in one place? (A web page or a journal entry.)

I think it would be interesting to read many of an individual's exercises at once, and see if themes/styles emerge.

If you do this, please leave a comment here so I can go look. :)

And pass the idea around, if you are so inclined.

There is a oneword feed at oneword. Unfortunately you can't post new entries at it, but you can reply to the incoming feed entries. Also, since it is syndicated it is probably only available to paid users... not sure.

I didn't know that, thanks! Can always use another reminder to do the oneword exercise. :-)

I'm about to post it on my journal. I think I got them all, but I didn't start labeling the posts "oneword" until I'd done one or two, so I may have missed one/some. I'm not especially good at seeing patterns in things, so I wouldn't mind having any pointed out (the cute-poet-chick thread through them is already obvious to me. :-)

Your onewords are so dense/chewy (that's a compliment) that it's hard for me to take in a lot of them at a time, but my initial impressions of themes and patterns are: love, touch, conversation, remembering/forgetting, aloneness/togetherness.

More later...

Thank you. *&*

Posted them here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/sistercoyote/339805.html)

I'd love to know what themes and/or styles you see. :)

[firecat]

It won't let me see them... :-(

[sistercoyote.livejournal.com]

I think I know why...

Give me about 15 minutes, then check again.

[firecat]

I still can't see them, wahh!

I'm about to post mine, and I'm linking to this entry to pass the idea around.

Thanks!

I have mine at CJWriting's set of "oneword" memories (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=cjwriting&keyword=oneword&filter=all). But I've been baaaad and haven't done oneword exercises for way too long :-(.

I'm bad too. But I'm blaming the Lupron. :-)

I like how yours are so outer-world focused. There's a marvelous childlike curiosity and wonder in them.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Wow - I never would have thought of them that way. Thank you!

(Always fascinating to see self, or bits of self, through others' eyes.)

Yeah, sure

OK, you talked me into it...

Wonderful, thanks!
