That’s right everyone it is Monday morning and this year that means it is time to stretch our vocab. Below thee are five words. Some will be familiar, others less so. The goal is to use all five in a piece of writing. I’ve put the definitions below so perhaps think about using the familiar in unfamiliar ways, or bending them to suit what you are working on. However you use them be sure to use them.
