so annnnyways, i just told courtney (my tonight-library-buddy) that i am going to judge her from afar as i read her creative nonfiction essay.
great genre title, by the way. "let's try to make the genre a little more palatable by adding "creative," because seriously guys, NO ONE wants to read 'nonfiction'."
and also palatable is the word i am currently fixated with--think about it daily and such. delightful really.
i mean, what. a. lovely. it can describe so many things.
holy cow i AM all over the place.
so i'm telling courtney how i'm going to be judging her from afar whilst i read her palatable creative nonfiction essay. to which she replies, "yeahbut i'm sitting two feet away from you. that isn't really afar."
and then we invent the word aclose.
aclose: (adverb) at, from, or to a short distance.
use it in a convo tomorrow and i shall award you three "likes" on facebook.
how many likes do I get if I teach it to my 8th graders as their vocabulary word?
ReplyDeletewhoa i am unprepared for this kind of question! i would say two likes per person. especially if they're children, because children are our future, and they shall carry the "aclose" torch down through the generations. :)
