I absolutely love the idea of using random vocabulary words as writing prompts! This tickles my nerd bone (like a funny bone, but smarter) to no end! As a young wordsmith, I competed in several spelling bees, and even came close to going to Washington DC twice, finishing second place to the same girl both times, in two successive years. I adore learning interesting configurations of letters. I look forward to reading more. 😊

Well if you scroll back in time in my archives, you’ll find that every Friday, the essay is prompted by a word. They’re not always big or fancy, but it’s always begun by the word. Have fun sifting through those, and let me know if you if you’d like a link list to begin.

Thank you! I definitely plan on reading through them more when I find the time to do it. I would love to have a link list for that purpose. 😊

I am more than willing to review the platonic notion of anamnesis if you are looking for a dialogue

Sounds like fun.

The reason why Plato proposed anamnesis as a solution to how we know anything intrigues me.

Okay I love it. Unless it wins the poll, let’s start noodling on this together in a week or two, yeah?
