A couple of months ago I wrote a post on the word loquacious and said how much I liked the sound of the word. A reader recently commented on that post (thank you) and said that they liked the sound of the word cogitate. Having not used that word before, I looked it up. I agree, it’s quite a … Continue reading
I’ve made it to 366 days! Today is the final day of my Writing challenge and thanks to the leap year, I have an extra day to fill! I’ve been planning my final few posts for a week or so now and whilst preparing Note 357 – The approach to taking time off from your daily blog, … Continue reading
Writing was something that I used to keep to myself in the form of journals and I have many going back as far as age four. It’s only in the last three years that I have started sharing what I write with others, and how wonderful it is to receive comments on topics that I thought wouldn’t have been of … Continue reading

From my research today, there are many explanations of the expression human error. I like About.com‘s definition which is “when a person makes a … Continue reading

Whilst watching a television quiz show at the weekend, the contestant was being asked the meaning of the word loquacious. Out of the three options on the screen, I picked the answer ‘nearby’! The correct answer was in fact ‘talkative’. Merriam Webster online dictionary defines loquacious as: Full of excessive talk: wordy Given to fluent or excessive talk According to … Continue reading
A work colleague kindly left a comment to tell me that I had used the word morale instead of moral in Note 353 – Is it ‘formally’ or ‘formerly’? (I could have kicked myself, but thank you!). The sentence I originally wrote was: “The morale of the blog is:..” which of course should have been “The moral of … Continue reading
With only nine days of my writing challenge to go….I feel like it’s going to be the longest nine days ever! Anyway, enough of the rant! If you have a daily blog like me, you may choose to post your blog at about the same time each day and feel like there is no break between one day and the next … Continue reading
