Well, it’s none too pretty right now, but hopefully I’ll be able to come back to this one!
“INVENTORY
Inventory is a method of analysis and classification that consists of isolating and listing the vocabulary of a pre-existing work according to parts of speech. Choose a newspaper article or passage from a newspaper article and “inventory” the nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, articles, etc. Bonus points for creative presentation of your final lists.” -from The OULIPOST Handbook
I love writing exercises such as this. for whatever reason sometimes strict confines let loose the most creativity… rather than imprison a person or limit them. opposites attract.
