Today I'm thinking about... words. Not just any words, you see. Oh no- I'm thinking about
Whacky Words. Today is a Wordy Whacky Wednesday. I adore words- I love reading
words, I fancy saying words. I don't know about you, but I get a thrill when I see an
author put together a string of wicked awesome words. I cherish jotting down these strings
and I even have a file on my computer for quirky quotes, another for vivid verbs...
don't forget my astonishing adjective/adverbs file. By now you are, no doubt, thinking I'm a nerd, but I could have told you that.
Half the time people laugh at my peculiar choice of words, because they have no idea what they
mean, or cause I just plain made 'em up!
Do you know one of the most fantastic word sources is Harry Potter? How many wonky words did you get from reading those stupendous books/seeing the sensational movies?? Blimey, Neville!
Do you have a most favoritest word that nobody else uses/understands? Share! Partake my clever crackerjacks!

I love SO many words. But my favorites are not usually usable words in average dialogue or writing...I just like the way the word feels in my mouth when I say it.
