In-Class Exercise, Creative Writing, 31 March 2015

To start today, make a list of common adjective/noun pairs. Keep the adjectives on the left margin and the nouns to the right. Try to come up with at least twenty, e.g.:


gaping                     wound
broken                     heart
knockout                 punch

etc.










Next, mix up the adjective/noun pairs, e.g.:

gaping                 heart
broken                punch
broken                wound


Use one of these as a basis for a description a la Claudia Rankine, such as where she says, "it's a strange beach, each body is a strange beach..." and continue the description for as long as you can.
