#5 Physical Distancing Prompt: Oulipo Play! N + 7
“At table, as in life, hurry is the great destroyer of
happiness and sound work, and more insidious even than laziness or lack of
care. It splinters the mind and breeds impatience, and in its later stages
panic, and unravels all.” – Andrew Todhunter, “A Meal Observed”
Today's writing prompt:
Part 1: describe what is now new and different about a particular meal or dining experience you have had during our self-isolation.
Part 2: N
+ 7
is one of the methods used by Oulipo movement to oppose the automatic
writing of the surrealists. Apparently arbitrary rules are set to your
writing process. For today's prompt,
circle all the nouns in your writing. Go to the dictionary and replace them with the noun seven words below them on the page.
