In 2025 Hal Howland acquired (and in 2026 outgrew) a hobby wherein he played a game of solo Scrabble and then spontaneously wrote a brief story using every word on the board. The resulting silliness offers pleasant surprises. Howland likens this ritual to Arnold Schoenberg's twelve-tone system of musical composition, which reduces the creative process to a game of chance. Have fun!
