24 hour word abstinence
Monday, 25 August 2008
I recently decided I would spend 24 hours avoiding the use of the word ‘cool.’ Harvey Smith has challenged me to 24 hours of not using any superlative or adjective, but instead to describe things as they are, leaving the subjective and unsubstantive words on the wayside for a short period of time.
I accept his challenge, and I look forward to utilizing language in a manner different than to which I am accustomed. I also expect a few slip-ups and will enjoy overanalyzing why I was using those words in those sentences.

And where is a picture of you on this blog, hmm?
