Word Help
Need a shot in the arm in the word department? Angela Ackerman's The Bookshelf Muse regularly shares posts called Setting Thesaurus Entry, such as this one on airplanes. The post contains words relative to the topic, categorized by each of the five senses. Other regular posts include the Emotion Thesaurus Entry, where one emotion is featured with a myriad of words associated with it. Angela also includes helpful hints and examples, which really helps get the creative juices flowing.
Elephants?
For a bit of whimsical inspiration, check out the elephants at Raymonde Fauchard's Everyday I Walk With You. Not just any elephants, these are of the most colorful sort that almost defy description. Raymonde's talent for photography is apparent as she shares these spectacular creatures with us. I had all sorts of descriptive words come to mind when I visited. Good, fun, stuff!
What do you do when you are at a loss for words? Do elephants or other unusual things inspire?
Happy writing!
Karen
