Hey Sparkle Writers! Before we talk about today’s word we want to remind you of the reason why this segment of the blog is so important.
As writers, our words are the vehicles we use to pour our hearts on paper or whatever medium we choose to use. We can’t afford to keep using the same expressions every time we have to write else we run a risk of sounding like broken records.
This is why you shouldn’t just gloss over this segment but actually use the words you learn in sentences whenever you get the chance. If you don’t get a chance to do so, you may as well just create one!
Now back to the #WordOfTheDay,
