OMG, I just discovered StumbleUpon tonight, and cannot believe I have spent so much time looking at the same tired old stuff on the web before.
I have stumbled upon some amazing things, just amazing things.
But some of the greatest have been in the ‘Writing’ category. These sites (so far) seem to contain little exercises, writing tips, or inspiring examples of writing.
One site, onetwofiver.com is a simple exercise that asks you to write one word, and then two, and then 5, and to just keep writing. Here’s what I came up with …
1. testosterone
2. triangulation towards
5. touching tips of fingers towards
10. the peak of physical exigency has reached its limits at last
20. however much is yet to be done. the past rushes up and over us like too much chow mein, a
50. proverbial acid reflux of history. We are awash in our own incrementally (excrementally?) increasing filth. we are saturated by it. it is evidence in the smallest ticks, the most unconcious actions, the ceaseless fidgetty hands poised over computer mice; grimey, flithy hands that masturbate, eat, click and repeat. Forever.
