January 2015 Calendar Challenge

Nature & Scenery


Us writers are always looking for ways to hone our craft and develop our skill, so I thought I’d share a silly one for those logophiles among us!


For xmas this year my sister bought my mom one of those desk calendars that introduces a new word every day. It is really a great calendar with some real heavy weight words in it. She decided to try to write a bit of a story utilizing the words from January – and I had to share it! She crammed a whole lotta words in an awfully small space!


I’ve linked the dictionary words to their definition at dictionary.com.


And here we go…


(Address Here), my El Dorado on this Sunday morning. At 10 am the sounding of the warison is not necessary. As comptroller and boniface of this address I feel drawn to create a feuilleton using my lares and penates, in this instance, pen and paper. Being totally agog, I will suffuse my words through this prosaic, addlepated piece to adduce what thirty-one days of vocabulary building can create.


With my fervid, bird-dog drive I will wend through this nodus composition. As a bluestocking babe of the seventies, I will stravage to the bottom of this page, not to stultify or inveigh, but to prove that I can do this.


One doesn’t have to transpontine ones self or create sesquipedalian verse to be understood. A mordacious style, or dolorous morning mood need not be in my way. This attempt may not be strong, but it’s not slimsy either.


Please take a moment and engage me, honor me with a marquette, with a lunette, at it’s peak-a sliver of possibilities all shiny on top. Take a moment, sit back and enjoy a zwieback, or a delicious pomaceous apple. I did it, a noachian masterpiece thirty-one days in the making.


Feeling brave? Take a nuncapative challenge – I dare you!
