The Writing Experiment by Hazel Smith was quite interesting. I am very drawn to things that have sound structures and to things or objects that have symmetry. When something is slightly askew, it often bothers me. The different ways suggested to structure writing was something that sparked my interest. I’ve done a few of these exercises in the past, but never knew that this was an actual thing (for lack of better words). Funny enough, the same thing with the exquisite corpse exercise, I always thought it was a fun game I used to play with my friends, but I had no idea that it was an actual technique. Back to this reading, I found example 3.8 to be the most pleasing out of the ones listed.
As for Gertrude Stien, I was unable to open the link to read.
Reading Sleeping with the Dictionary made me feel like I was 10 years old, watching Nick Jr with Mr. Face. I didn’t much care for it. Maybe in moderation I could care?
