Hi all,

If you haven’t read exercise 5 already here is the first task of the assignment:

“Begin by brainstorming a list of words you care about, including both words you use often and words you never use but would like to. You don’t need a long list, but you might need to write a long list to get to a shorter one, if that makes sense: you want words that you’re really motivated to work with, rather than words that happened to occur to you.”

I think it would be really cool to see the lists of words that each of us have come up with.  Maybe someone will notice something about your list of words that you never noticed before.  Here’s mine:

• sanguine
• vixen
• opulent
• orange
• tangerine
• body
• empty
• inside
• bloom
• flow
• sprout
• open
• crack
• spill
• relinquish
• curl
• chrysanthemum

I certainly think there are more words I could add, but this is what I have for now.  I think it’s important to think about what types of sources can be found in our lists of words.  For me personally, I think my list shows themes pertaining to growth.

What do you notice in your list of words?  Paste  below!
