Proportion.
This is inspired by an article in the Dining In/Out section of the Times today, which informed me that I don't put enough sauce on my pasta, contrary to what has been in fashion for the past 30 years or so. And neither do you, unless you've always been a slobbering, overindulgent, out-of-style American.
Anyway, I was thinking that "proportion" might be a fruitful concept for everybody as a freewrite, or as a more structured exercise--if not, perhaps you can come up with your own concept and run with it.
So... we should meet tomorrow evening to share our work. Sam has someone coming in town on Friday, and I'm booked til after dinner and drinks with cousins of mine that night. Does this work for the rest of you guys?

this is hard :( can i propose that if we meet up tomorrow, we all get together, pick a random prompt (or maybe even use this one), and then give ourselves half an hour to write. i think the pressure (and motivation) of being in the same room with other people would be more real. cuz right now, i'm just blanking blanking. sorry I'm lame. if we still wanna go with this current prompt and format, I'll come up with something... sorry for being lame again this week.
Sorry... it may be the prompt's fault. That's what I get for trying to connect my writing with articles about pasta.
Let's do the half hour thing, regardless of who has what written--could be interesting!
