In a nutshell: putting words to faces
This is the Write Out Loud exercise for February. It’s all about editing, and economy. Think of 10 people you know to varying degrees. Include a member of your family, someone you don’t know the name of, a famous person, someone you love, someone you dislike - but no one on Write Out Loud, please!, and yourself. Describe each using only eight words.
