I'm preparing a graduate presentation that I'm going to be teaching in three months on a writing technique that I have been doing throughout my program. The idea is to organize your thoughts onto paper by using concrete nouns...
What I'd like to do is pick a concrete noun from a hat, and we all plan to write a blog post focusing on that one particular noun. It can be funny or it can be serious, it's entirely up to you. The idea is to take the noun and start writing whatever comes to mind...
The word that was chosen was: BACON!
Have a I mentioned before that I'm a vegetarian? Well, I am. I still cook meat for my son and husband though. I just don't care for it myself. So out of all the words that could have been chosen, this one kind of sucks for me. My original post went like this, "I don't eat bacon. The end." Still, the word "bacon" is a better choice than the first noun that popped into my head, which was "dingleberry". I had to apologize to Jessie when I submitted it. I mean, I could have lied and submitted a different word, but "dingleberry" was truly the first thing that popped into my mind. I don't know why. We don't currently have a pet but in the past we've had dogs that have suffered from dingleberries. So yes, in the big scheme of things, bacon is probably a better choice.
