Problem

Write a series of 6-8 micro essays (10-20 words each), each one exploring one word you often use in your own writing or speech. How does your repeated usage reflect a persistent preoccupation, an important memory, or evoke an influential person in your life? If you don't want to write this piece about yourself, write it about a character, and about 6-8 words they commonly use.

Your piece should include at least one word that you wish exists, but doesn't.

Write it about a character, do NOT write about yourself.

At least 600 words total. MLA.
