n. a lover of words. what am i? i'm a word-lover, a collector of words. i collect all kinds of words: curse words, untranslatable words found in foreign languages, SAT words, words made to impress other people. i collect words that are new to me and i even collect words that are familiar to me but sound cool when slipped into a conversation. why this fascination with words? well, i guess it comes with writing. as a writer i want to know the right words to enliven my work, to render my descriptions vivid for the reader, and to make my writing exciting to read.
