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!
