Could you please give me a word? It’s for a combination writing/art project, and all the words must be donated.
It could be the first word that springs to your mind, or it could be a word with personal significance. You can randomly pick one out of the dictionary if you like. It doesn’t even have to be an English word. There are no rules, except I can accept only one word from each of you.
Thank you.

Are you planning to use these words as starters for your writing? Or are you planning to give yourself the challenge of fitting them all into a piece of writing? What are you planning to do with them all???
cocksnapping
quantum
ceremony

nuthatch
apoplectic
Mediaeval.
It’s surprising how many of the words I was going to suggest have already been used! I wonder what that says about us.
eleemosynary
warm
I know I’m late but —
mellifluous
(my all time favourite word — I see someone else has suggested what is possibly my second fave — defenestrate…).
Good luck!

Hi Zoom,
This comes to you via me from Lois who is Tamarak’s mom. She hasn’t mastered leaving comments yet.
I have a word for Zoom’s project which I would like you to pass on to her, if it isn’t too late. The
word is ‘doppelganger’. I once saw my doppelganger when I was about 18 years old. I was work-
ing at the Homewood San. for the summer as asst. dietician & my double was working there as a
nurses’ asst. We were dressed exactly the same in white uniforms…..it was like looking in a mirror.
It frightened me so much I never said a word to her, nor she to me.
Peace
Doppelganger – interesting word, interesting story. Consider it added, and thank you to Tamarak’s mom.
Peace – I can ALWAYS make room for peace.
