I am a member of the Write_Workshop and today my mission is to go through the Dictionary and fine ten words that I have never seen before and use them in my prose. To be honest I am not real sure what a prose is, so I am just going to assume she is meaning my WIP (work in progress).
This is what my list tooks like:
Conflagration: a large and destructive fire
Plenipotentiary: invested with full power
Conurbation: an aggregation or continuous network of urban communities
Tetchy: peevish; testy; irritable
Blackgaurd: a scoundrel
Cabal: a group that seeks power usually through intrigue
Plangent: beating with a loud or deep sound; also, expressing sadness
Laudable: worthy of praise; commendable
Obdurate: hardened in feelings or in wrongdoing; unyielding
Chthonic: dwelling in or under the earth; also, pertaining to the underworld
Thank goodness for Dictionary.com and their WORD OF THE DAY catalogue.
Wish me luck!!!
