Word Nerd? Who...ME?? LOL

Ha...Bublish's suggestion for a bubble this week brought up something a friend has already called me (more than once). I usually write a bubble on what I’m feeling that week, but today when I read Kathy’s suggestion, I picked it up and ran with it. Words are a subject near and dear to my heart. Yes, I've always been considered a word nerd! It started when I was very young and realized that spelling was my favorite/best subject in school. I won spelling bees in grade school and words were always my 'thing'. I absolutely cannot stand it when I see poor grammar usage or misspelled words! It would drive me insane if I let it. I play word games all the time - I find it really helps with my writing. Every year I eagerly anticipate the 'word of the year'...really! And most of the time I disagree with it! Often when I’m reading a book I replace words that I think would be a better fit in the story…if only the author knew! So…do I have a favorite word? Not really, I love them all. I love being an author because I get to play with words every day…how fun is that? I’m a lucky gal. www.sirpigglesworth.com
