Assignment 10

Holy cow, we’ve reached TEN assignments on Jeff Cutler dot com already. Keep up the good work. I’m especially impressed with the latest post from both Mike and Alan on assignment 8 and from Alan on assignment number 9. Good work.

For an upcoming assignment I want to give you all a long-form challenge like a column or a short story. So start thinking about that. For now, we remain fairly ‘quick-hit’.

Here’s today’s project…

In honor of the number ten, you should create a series of sentences (say 10?) that each have 10 words in them. You can write anything you want. You can make it advertising copy, a recounting of how your cat broke the egg cups, or even a story about the worst rainstorm you’ve ever been caught in. But every sentence has to have 10 words in it.

100 word limit (10×10).

Post your submission in the comments section. Mine will appear there shortly.

Have fun!

    Today is my brother’s birthday, so I’ll just say hello.
    Aaron you’re the best and I’m proud to be related.
    Thinking of others, you’re a little too PC most times.
    But I can deal, you’re not as bad as Al.
    He got a Nobel Award—what a crock of crap.
    He might be bright but he’s super annoying man.
    Gore should be a superhero with all his liberal powers.
    No, I’m wrong…then we couldn’t run the air conditioner.
    And he’s uptight about using electricity—how could we write?
    No more electrons with which to mark up electronic pages.

    “I’ll take care of Thanksgiving dinner,” she said with confidence. Her sister visibly shuddered; grateful they weren’t talking in person. The 1987 pumpkin pie debacle was legend in the family. A dented can of pumpkin deemed harmless actually harbored botulism. It was Reed’s third year Toxicology class that saved everyone. Taking a breath she said, “Is that a good idea?” “That memory will never fade,” her sister replied, chuckling. “I took a Thanksgiving preparation class at Martha Stewart Academy. No cans this time; I’m using fresh, organic heirloom pumpkin.” She heard her sister’s pride through the phone and smiled.
