Thanks for the ping LJ. I've never heard of the circular prose.
One of the funniest things I ever read was about a professor who assigned couples to write "tandem stories" where each write a paragraph and the other continues the story.
It quickly evolved into name calling, etc for one couple and was so hilarious that they got an A+ from the Professor!

Why not turn him into a yellow submarine, fill him full of rocks and sink him in a boiling vat of Heinz ketchup.

LOL, easier to just fill his balloons with helium and let him float away into the either...

How are you ladies making out? Getting any of this storm. I think the worse is over for us. It was a good one. I was so disappointed, just as I was heating my tea this morning, out went the electricity. I need my caffeine. LOL If only I woke up just a few minutes earlier ;)

write a paragraph and the other continues the story. A teacher did that to us as well. I bet there's a name for that technique, too.

You lost your power! I hate that! So far, knock on wood, we haven't - yet. Rain looks like it might have let up. Can't really see out the windows since they're all soaked from the wind whipping the water.
Winds'll be here through tomorrow, so there's still time to lose powah.

Let's start right here with the "add a paragraph" theme...
"...It was late summer before they even walked up to the dusty attic. They'd gone through piles of bills dating back 40 years, all marked paid and neatly filed in an old breakfront in the library. Two sets of Encyclopedia Brittanica (copyright 1942 and 1964) had been donated to the reluctant librarian in town. Piles of moth-eaten clothes had been tossed into the dumpster that now seemed a permanent part of the yard. Fresh paint, refinsished floors brought life back to the old house. Opening the door to the third story attic, they......."

It was a bummer. NO computer ;( No caffeine. This does belong on the scary stormy story thread ;)
Took hours to come back too. I hope you keep yours. I didn't believe the prediction. They always hype it up but it was quite a storm.

I have been on the web looking for more info. Not doing so well with circular prose. There are links, of course, but the whole concept is all rather confusing to me.
To: potlatch; MS.BEHAVIN
Oh, duh, THAT'S the actual term! LOL! ROFLMAO!!!
It was a dark and stormy day,
and my brain had gone away.
