Word Nerd: The Write Stuff


I’m in the midst of revising various writing projects so words related to the craft of reading and writing have caught my eye and landed in my inbox.

bibliogony: the art of producing and publishing books.

logophile: a lover of words.

oh, the possibilities

retcon:to later revise an established element of a fictional story.

bowdlerize: to amend a written work by removing or modifying passages considered vulgar or objectionable.

quaere: ask; inquire (an imperative used to introduce or suggest a question).

answers forthcoming

bahuvrihi: a compound noun or adjective in which the first word describes the person or object denoted by the second.
