Challenge for This Week, Updates

(image from Natalie Dee)

I make lots of lists for myself-- not Top 5 lists like Rob Gordon of "High Fidelity" but more like notes of things of interest to me. I have a list of movies to watch, books to read, clothes I need for the season, and words to use. It seems that every time I check something off a list I add a few more items on there. Anyway, I've always had the most trouble working through that last category.

Until now.

Well, that's the hope. I'm going to list 7 words from that list and make myself incorporate on of them in each blog post for the next week.

Ebullient

Tepid

Huckster

Predilection

Cogent

Apotheosis

Machination

I don't plan my posts in advance but write about whatever strikes my fancy that day. I hope that I won't be completely stuck on the last day and end up writing to use the word rather than using the word in my writing.
