I recently realized that I purchased a copy of a book I already had: Children's Writers's Word Book by Alijandra Mogilner.
Crazy me! So, I'm hosting a book giveaway contest. To enter:
- Just follow my blog and leave me a comment telling me your 3 favorite words (or 3 words you really like, even if they're not necessarily you're favorite).
- For a second entry, mention me on your own blog (and be sure to leave a link below).
- For a third entry, tweet about the contest (and be sure to include @christiewild).
I will choose a winner on Saturday, September 25th. That's 10 days! By the way, my three favorite words are metamorphosis, onomatopoeia, and paprika. What words do you love?
Contest is now closed. Winner posted in comments.

ReplyDeleteHer favorite word is THEY. Actually, it's her favorite spelling of a word!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite spelling of a word is CHIHUAHUA. So fun to say phonetically!
Remember if you want another entry, to spread the word about my contest on your blog, or twitter. Or both!
I'll play!

Don't know why.
I don't know why but this brought back to me a game my dad and I used to play when I was little where we would go back and forth saying one word in as many different tones and inflections as we could think. Like ... What? What!? Whaaaat? WHAT?! Now that I'm trying to remember some of the words I can't really imagine many more than "what" Sorry, tangent.
I don't have a blog otherwise I would totally give you a shout out!
Hey, Christie! Love the blog. The book looks great. I guess my three favorite words would be pantophobia, cerulean and chocolate.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! That's two votes for cerulean. And two for chocolate. I never even heard of pantophobia.
ReplyDeleteI love the words myriad, labyrinth and scarlet.
ReplyDeleteI like these three words

But my favourite are: wabi-sabi, aesthetic and pseudonym.
(I'm a fan of onomatopoeia too. Luckily I get to say it often at my Create a Kids' Book workshops : )
My 3 favorite words: Mississippi, Constantinople, and Timbuktu. Don't ask. I haven't a clue. I just think that they're fun to say and spell, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I just mentioned the contest on my brand new twitter page. I only have like 4 tweeters, though, so it's not going to get you the buzz that you're hoping for, I'm afraid. Sorry:( It still counts, though, right? LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you all so much for participating in my contest. Ten contestants, wow! And the winner is...out of 15 entries, JULIE HEDLUND! Congratulations!
