Intent to Participate

This year will be my first participating. A few ideas:

• [ ] A book comprised entirely of neologisms.
  • Grab 500 Gutenberg texts and extract the words that don't appear in a c. 1900 dictionary.
  • Use sentence templates or tropes to just ad-lib the neologisms in, so that it's more 'readable?'
• [ ] Paragraphs of sentences that fluctuate.
  • Pick a sentence at random and mutate it from the first to the second to the third person.
  • Pick a sentence at random and gradually replace more and more of its words with more florid synonyms.
• [ ] A book entirely of 1) sentences ending in exclamation points and 2) single-word sentences.
  • Could be from Gutenberg texts, like @obliquestions, or it might be interesting to try and grab them from news articles?

Didn't end up doing these. Settled for something much easier and more puerile.
