New Words
Writing is all about words of course but while I'm working my way through the book I feel like I'm stuck with the same bunch of words. Like I keep reusing them. Sometimes a new word will come up it becomes my favorite. And after I've used it once, I want to keep reusing it. I don't, but it's very tempting.
My son who's 9 found a new word this week. Leotard. To him it sounds funny and he's been using it a lot lately. Just yesterday he changed the lyrics to just about every song on the radio to something involving new leotards, old leatards, the need to find a leotard. He's pretty creative and seldom repeats one of his new lyrics, just the word leotard.
It made me think of all the ordinary words that I never use. I'm trying hard to come up with a way to use leotard and make it sound romantic but I have to be honest, I'm struggling!
What words do you like?

I did a business talk once about "Synergy, Syzygy and Serendipity." Don't think you'll find the first two in a romance novel. *g*

Marilyn--What is syzgy? I think I'm going to try to synergy in my WIP. It's a business setting so that will be a fun one!!!
