Blah, blah, blah

When asked, “How do you write?” I invariably answer, “one word at a time.”
Stephen King

I’ve never had writer’s block. Don’t throw anything at me. I have experienced, inspiration-block, however. So when life makes us a speedbump, reverses and let’s er rip again, I have a cure for what ails you. I suspect you have it too, if you read this blog.



I have a friend who’s an interior designer. She matches people’s rooms to their personalities. She’s done landscapes and stars and the most amazing textured walls that almost look alive.

When I asked her to help me with my study, she said…”What do you collect? I know. Words!”

We writers are word-wierdos. Finding the right word can turn flat prose cut-out-paper-doll into a surround-sound, living-breathing person with whom we laugh and cry.

So…here’s a little word fun. Yes, its #geektastic.




So here’s a list of wierdo words.



Apodyopsis- The act of mentally undressing someone

Batrachophagus- One who eats frogs (you mean some people dont?)

Clithridiate-Key-hole-shaped

Dentiloquent-Pertaining to one who talks through their teeth

Exsibilation-The collective hisses of a disapproving audience (which I hope is not happening now)

Filipendolous-Hanging by a single thread (much like my sanity lol)

Gossypidoma-A surgical sponge left inside a patients body (I am still laughing. WHenever you read this, Im still laughing that this word exists)

Jumentous-Pertaining to horse urine. (did you know that Grace? If you did…well i cry uncle right now)

and lastly–Lygerastia-pertaining to one who is only amorous when the lights are out.

I refuse to reveal my source at this time. I must complete the alphabet. But I think thats enough to alleviate your Mulligrubs (pertaining to low spirits) for one day.
