Anyone else a logophile? When I can’t find delightful conversation or a compelling read, word games are my next choice for amusement while traveling. If you’re a word-lover like me, maybe you’ll enjoy this week’s contest. I decided to mix things up and have a little fun.
So, let’s play a word game. You only need to submit one word to enter the contest. Almost any part of speech will do (noun, verb, adverb, adjective). Leave out proper and proprietary names, please. Employ your creative side and describe a dragon. It can be the first word which comes to mind when you think of dragons or a well-considered favorite. There’s only one catch. You must be willing to let me use it.
Here’s how to win:
- Suggest one word in your comments below. Don’t repeat other entries, or yours won’t be considered.
- Include your email address, so I can notify the winner.*
The winning suggestion will receive $5 to spend on their favorite Starbucks treat. For all participating bibliophiles and logophiles, I hope this will prove a fun exercise to unlock the imagination. I can hardly wait to read your brilliant notions!
Now, who wants to be a winner?
*All participants agree to relinquish rights to their suggested words, if they should be selected for use in a novel or as a title. No additional compensation will be provided. Winning does not guarantee use of the entry in a novel.
