Couch to 80k – Week One – Day Two

I’m doing the “Couch to 80k” – a writing bootcamp from writer and poet Tim Clare. For more information go here: http://www.timclarepoet.co.uk/couchto80kwritingbootcamp/

Exercise Two
Create two columns. One with word you like and one with words you don’t.

Words You Like Words You Don’t Like
Smotyn* Irregardless
Love Hate
Awesome Mangle
Funny Jargon
Melancholy Calendarise
Smwddio** Okey-dokey
Holiday Assume
Pure Couch
Bunson Dribble
Trip Journey
Chimney Sweaty
Pickle Nonce
Rustic Fat
Grunt Fuchsia
Pineapple Rasp
Plethora Pedantic

I didn’t purposely set out to make the lists even, it’s just a happy coincidence.

*Welsh for spot. I had a plain white teddy when I was little that was called Smotyn
**Welsh for smooth.


I’m hoping this gives me the skills and motivation to finish one of the four books I started writing!
