Monday, July 14th – The Five Word Challenge

Happy Monday everyone. Hope you had a fantastic weekend, exciting if you wanted exciting and quiet if you needed to re charge. As we start the work week lets stretch our brains with the five word challenge. As always the rules of this exercise are simple. Use all five words below in a piece of writing. I will post the definitions below in the hopes that seeing the meaning in their various forms might spark a thought about using the word in a way you might not always gravitate towards. So…

Today’s Words: Fatuous, Convoluted, Sneer, Boing, Lisp
