write to avoid singing

Vlada and Celine made a pact to write ~~twice~~ once a week using prompts in the summers of 2009 & 2010. In 2011, we reboot this project and include another member to our project, Anna who is joining us from Oxford.

Their attempts will be published here every Sunday, with prompts posted every Monday. If anyone fails to meet the challenge, she will be subjected to humiliation in the form of a voice recording (sans background music) of any song the punisher wishes. The recording will be posted here.

Special thanks to Winnie for a lovely portrait picture.

Paraphrased from Wikipedia with examples from Billie Holiday (Prompt 27, Written by Anna)

A plosive is a stop consonant in which the vocal tract is blocked;

All air flow ceases.

The occlusion may be done with the tongue

Example, ‘fruit.’

Or with the lips,

Example, ‘crop.’
