Willow Madison's Blog: Random Sh!t - Posts Tagged "etymology"

I didn't have to think about what my answer would be to this question today - it was obvious!

First, I learned a new word. *clapping gleefully* That is always exciting for me. Not that I'd win a contest or anything for my vocabulary, but I've fantasized before about a path in my life that might've made me an etymologist. I'm only hobbyist-level. I still hold a special place in my heart for the word melancholy though. A first love should always be cherished IMO.

Oh, the word was atavistic. Cannot wait to use it in a book now. *more clapping*

My second excitement comes in the form of seeing my baby walk. No, not a literal baby. A literary baby. I finally have my first series available in paperback - a monumentally huge accomplishment that has me pinching myself. In honor of baby's first steps, I'm offering a giveaway on here for True Nature. It starts tomorrow and my hands are going to be numb - no, you pervs, not from that - from clapping!

I hope my first babes find loving foster homes *sniffle*

So, what excited you today??
