Dictionary Play
"Words are the raw material of our craft. The greater your vocabulary the more effective your writing. We who write in English are fortunate to have the richest and most versatile language in the world. Respect it." ~ PD James
Inspiration in word exploration begins with the dicionary. Open it at random and write down five words whose meaning is unfamiliar to you.
Write a paragraph using your new words.
Open to another page. Find a word that intrigues you with its rhythm. Begin the first line of a poem.
Play in the dictionary daily to enrich your writing.
