Some posts may include the word “Experiment” in the title or be categorized as an “Experiment.”

This means the piece is composed based off of an experimental prompt– a prompt meant to encourage unique use of language, form, inspiration, process, etc.

I have done experiments from the following people:

Imitation is another fun way to experiment with writing– you can learn so much about your own writing style simply by trying out someone else’s.
