Flaunt it Friday

After a busy time last week planning events for my children’s book, The Clocker, this week has been one of catching up. I’m sounding a fanfare for getting the house cleaned and tidied. It may not be exciting but it certainly feels good when it’s done.

What have you achieved this week? I’d love to hear from you.

Wordy Wednesday

We are all familiar with the use of a ‘smith’ meaning a craftsperson, for example a blacksmith or silversmith. My word for today is wordsmith, simply meaning ‘a skilled user of words’ (New Oxford English Dictionary of English).

It is a very timely word, my debut children’s book, The Clocker, having been published yesterday. I like the idea of being a wordsmith. It is a craft shared by many around the world, in different languages, styles and genres. Where would we be without wordsmiths?

A special shoutout to all my fellow bloggers and to the Let’s Write group at The Writers Bureau.
