In the whole Exchange we could find some more emotions. And probably the Invention of the dialogue would have had a minor Chance in the competition πŸ˜‰

Come on sir, i'll even get you started with the first paragraph:


'Old Rusty hadn't expected to find love in such a curious place. He had awoken that cold February morning oblivious to the adoration awaiting him in that small laundrette, that smelt of damp cardigans and economy fabric softener. Little did he know, as he put on his pink jumpsuit and carefully arranged the 16 hairs on his head, that life as he knew it would never be the same again...'

For those who still haven't gotten off the dime and selected what to write about, given this year's topic, "Emotions", here's a link to a page where you can find lots and lots and lots of emotions to choose from, as well as some handy references concerning how these emotions are related to each other. One thing I found handy was Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions, which is also covered on this page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrasting_and_categorization_of_emotions#Plutchik.27s_wheel_of_emotions


And yes, I know there's only a little less than a month left, so it's well past time to get busy!

Sorry, last question, I think, is "Building Site Linguistics" allowed in entries? I.E. swear words?

Just before I start the first edit thought I should check.
