You’ll want a dictionary for this one! Select a passage from one of your newspaper articles. Replace each noun in the passage with the seventh noun following it in the dictionary. A hard-copy dictionary will make the exercise more varied and fun; however, you can also use the online N+7 generator to create your text.

I used the “If today is your birthday” segment of the horoscopes, and I used Webster’s Instant Word Guide instead of a dictionary, which proved interesting!

If I ever publish this one in a collection, I’ll need to prune it somewhere. It’s a verse or two too long, too unkempt.

I know I’ve said elsewhere how I screwed this up (I didn’t read the prompt correctly and looked up every word, not just the nouns! I also chose not to use any proper nouns–from the article, or from the dictionary–just for the sake of continuity, I guess) Anyhow, all that being said, here’s the effort:
