--- Preface ---

This, my second fiction blog, is intended to remain a 'series form'.
Eccentric phrases shall murmur, blurp, and stammer on, groping after grouping, until an almost-mosaic presents itself.

It is not a novel or a poem, in any but an unconventional sense, so don't waste brow time crabbily waiting for me to let you know what rhymes with 'orange', when Alice effs Jerry, or who slew Andy Magoo.

Sometimes a character or three or many, may sporadically emerge---or more often their objects.
But, the only plot might prove a sort of plot by implication, with many gaps in time and a wide array of loose connections.


In the opening 'chapter', I'll begin with a string of systematically, but randomly 'found' words, mostly just as they are, for starters, then repeat them and recombine them.
In the second chapter, (again using a dictionary & the words from chapter one), I will select another set of words and do the same.

Later, expect me to combine previous chapter pairs to form new ones---creating unexpected directions and imagery, gradually stranger and longer phrases, (but almost never, in my case, complete sentences).
Continuing on like that until the entire 'book' is finished.


Why don't you try one yourself?

something pithy, clever, rude, or nasty... there, said it! But seriously, am (seriously) lookin' forward to seeing how all this 'series form' stuff pans out. Am really diggin' your other 'frog blog' as such, and expect further mind-fuck material from this here spiffy new 'blob' you 'gotted'. Cheers! or as us slovenly Aussies say - cheese! :)

(Was 'cheers' nicked from the poms or the yanks??)
