lol
also, it's hilarious to think that a wogball "club world cup" would have more American clubs competing than English ones

This is only tangentially related to the thread's "topic", but whatever...

I find that I'm easily influenced by whatever I read (for better or worse),
so as something of an experiment I'm attempting to cultivate an aberrant prose style by reading nothing but poetry and plays. It's what I prefer reading anyway, so it isn't much of a sacrifice.
As such, I haven't read a single prose work all year, and have recently begun writing a healthy amount of my own prose.
I find myself writing with similar rhythmic considerations I would when writing verse (iambic, naturally; ie I will write "she looked me with..." rather than "she looked at me with..."), and favouring assonant sounds when choosing adjectives and verbs. Another thing I've noticed is the more focused use of simile (ala Homer, Milton).
The other big change to my style is that I've been writing very "sensually" -- giving much concern to the moment to moment physical sensations of the characters -- although that's not necessarily related to the poetry.
It still feels like pulling teeth, sometimes (writing prose, that is), but I think it's been an overall fruitful endeavour.

No, I will not post an excerpt -- because I am a coward (abject).
