WORDNIK:
I was introduced to Wordnik as a place to preserve and share obscure English words so they remained alive and in circulation.
Wordnik shows definitions from multiple sources, so you can see as many different takes on a word’s meaning as possible.
There’s a Word-of-the-Day that will send you a new unusual word each day via email.
You can collect favorite words, discuss word origin and meaning with other Wordniks, look up obscure and unusual words and submit them if you’re hoarding any!
Check it out!

Hello Women’s Pages! I had the pleasure of joining the Accokeek Women’s Writing Group today and am happy to have met this group of fun and interesting women. I mentioned I had a blog that included some writing information, so thought I would post the link here. http://BelievingInHorses.com/blog/ One of the items we talked about was Writing.com’s 15 for 15 exercise, and here’s a specific link to a post on that. http://believinginhorses.com/blog/2011/05/17/235/
Look forward to seeing everyone again! -Valerie

Hello again, friends, I just checked out the current 15 for 15 contests, and don’t see that one is being run again anytime soon, but in the meantime, the following may be of interest to those looking for an interesting writing exercise on Writing.com: http://www.writing.com/main/forums/item_id/896794-Daily-Flash-Fiction-Challenge
