Ever go looking for a word and find there isn’t one in the dictionary / thesaurus? Happens to me all the time, especially when looking for some pearl of description to add to a poem.
Here is my starter list of words that should be in the dictionary. Some might actually be, I haven’t really taken the time to look. I’ll just leave the list here and add to it from time to time. With apologies to the friends that inspired my word list 😉
