Posted on January 2, 2012 by literarylee

Been making plans for me and words for this new year.  Looking forward to another word-esque, word-filled, wordified 12 months.  I’m writing these down in this public place to give them more oomph.  It’s why I’m trying to make them … Continue reading →

Maybe Literary Isn’t Quite the Word I’m Looking For

Posted on December 30, 2011 by literarylee

A Literally Serious Word from the Blogger

Posted on August 27, 2011 by literarylee

If every use of the word literally were an alien, we’d be literally overrun, taken over by that large and growing crowd.  The human race is clearly outnumbered by the number of times this word is used.  If the vast multitude, … Continue reading →

Posted on June 16, 2011 by literarylee

For most of my life I had no idea I was an artist.  I’ve loved words since I was young, but I certainly hadn’t seen them as a medium for my own artistic expression.  Similarly, for most of my life I thought … Continue reading →

Mombardment

Posted on May 7, 2011 by literarylee
