Re-drafting (Free verse) by Nicholas Jones I was alerted that my thesis
Made excessive use of the word 'something'.
I searched through and counted
Something like thirty one instances in the same chapter.
So I decided to do something about it
And replace them all with something else.

Where did the word "ORIGIN" come from?

My thesis made excessive use of spelling sinister (and yes, slightly gay) messages with the first letters of each line. I win.

How did it feel to win the Melben G. Glasscock Center for Humanities Research Prize in Historical Literary Studies?
It felt amazing, actually. I got presented with cheque for 250 dollars at a fancy luncheon at the SCMLA convention, where I got a huge slab of beef with two pieces of potato. I travelled to Arkansas (which is a long way from Swansea) to talk about an obscure Welsh poet. Plus it looks very good on my CV and allows me to impress people at parties.
I am slightly perturbed as to how you found this out and whether you are somehow electronically stalking me.
