When You Can't Think Of That Word

[Lan]

I'd love to use this post for me or anyone else to ask for suggestions for a word or phrase to complete a sentence when you're/I'm stuck.

Hate when that happens. Good idea!

[Stefanie]

This is a very good idea indeed!

[Paul]

How's that supposed to work if you can't think of the work you're trying to think of? LOL.

You can always describe it, you know, like what writers do ;)

Example: My characters are trying to make their escape over water, so they jump in a thingy... I can't think of the word... It's not a motorboat. It has an air filled thing on the bottom and can move over dry land too.

Hovercraft?

[Lan]

I was thinking hovercraft, also. The ones you use in the south, swamp lands :)

I believe the ones used in the bayous etc are called airboats.

edit: And I only know this because it was brought up on the Creative Penn podcast as she (Joanna Penn) is in New Orleans LOL

You are right!!! I just googled it:)

Airboats

[Brian]

I was thinking hovercraft. Airboats/Fanboats are used more in the swamplands.
