Your Favorite Words List

All writers have favorite words. At least, that is my impression. I have a list of favorite words and it keeps growing. The words on the list are there because of meaning or the music of the English language. According to some of the articles I’ve read, English is a language rich with descriptive words. What are some of my favorite words?

          Tender

           Peace

          Peaceful

          Gentle

          Shining

          Kind

          Laughter

          Musical

          Love

          Resilient

          Strong

          Helpful

          Determined

          Persistent

          Creative

          Imagine

I could go on and on. Though I use many of my favorite words when I’m writing, I don’t over-use them. Take a few moments to think about your favorite words. Why do you like them? What do they represent? Favorite words are part of our identity as people and as writers.

Grief Doodling: Bringing Back Your Smiles

Cover of Grief Doodling

Blurb

From the very first page, Grief Doodling invites action. Topics range from the benefits of doodling, to why doodling is fun, to doodling tips, and responding to doodling prompts. The prompts, based on grief research, promote self-worth and healing. This is a hopeful book—something all grieving kids need.
