A short list of new words that I have found useful in my writing. I would be honored if others tried these themselves.
This list might also be useful in determining what parts of my writing are intentionally nonsense and which are those parts to which I attach a special meaning.
candacity
being candid with audacity.
corrupturous
interposingly cacophanous.
cosmosis
1. The subjectifying of objective realities. 2. The
objectifying of subjective realities.
crispet
almost too hard and bright, like some mornings.
"crispet noon" being a suggestion of a late start, but with
the same--in this case unexpected--effects.
ensoverished
made soft and compliant, both literally and figuratively.
froggle
usually used in the phrase "longing to froggle and turn" in
the sense of two lovers being so enamored that they roll
over and over eachother, turning over a new leaf etc. etc.
jerimander:
a cause for thrill, especially a quality of bodies or light
that asks one to "drink it in."
overboding:
1. ominous or foreboding in an overt or excessive way.
2. at once overwhelmingly relavent and entirely
unmanageable; unavoidable.
quiverride
quality of engaging the mind in the process of
time passing quickly, especially as with mystical or
hallucinatory experiences; "quiverride of dawn". (May be
related to "qua verite". Also, arrows as a symbol of time)
singulamitous:
1. inconceivable except in totality or by itself.
2. giving rise to visions of a conjunctio or formal union.
3. symbolic of death or apocalypse.
"A singulamitous nature is fate, a singulamitous animal is
human, and a singulamitous truth is frightening."
tenderpoint:
to gently indicate or make a difficulty clear, especially
with an indication of irony about the truthfulness of the
proposition. Usually used as an active noun in poetry.
"By tenderpoint she soon learned, the world was
tethered in more than the shadows of two suns".
NOTE: "tenderpoint" may be unfortunately based on a medical term involving the gauging of pain, and "gerrymandering" is a political term that relates to the suppression of voters. So obviously those two terms are not unique enough bear new meanings. But I leave my own interpretation here for curiuosity's sake.
