I'm drafting a review this evening, and I find myself wondering...
Isn't chock-full a real word, not just a coffee brand? And am I strange to use it? My spell checker won't take it no matter what.
Why, when I'm writing flat-out in creating/first draft mode, do I have a tendency to use one certain word over and over again?
Don't you want to know now what tonight's repeatedly used word is? Of course you do! It's musings! (And I've used it again in the title of this blog post).
Why did I have to go a thesaurus to come up with synonyms like ponderings, reflections, contemplations, speculations, cogitations, ruminations? (I had managed to come up with meditations on my own.) And have no fear, dear reader, I did not use them all in one book review. I promise.
And one last question, aren't we writers thankful for thesauruses? Or is it thesaurii? (Doesn't that sound grand? The mighty herd of thesaurii thundered over the plains...)

Jeepers, it's been a few days since I popped over here. Just have to say I absolutely love that last image!
