The S word
Of all the non-vowel letters in the alphabet, surely S is the one we would most miss if we couldn't use it in our writing? Well, you're about to find out. TASK Write for 10 minutes without using the letter S, beginning "Only rich men know....."
I find it difficult to write a comment without that letter, but found writing a ten-minute piece very enjoyable! Amazing to learn how wide and rich a vocabulary I have, hidden underneath an everyday piece of writing. It made me much more aware of a chance to delve more deeply into meaning in my work... Thank you! (Phew! Made it!) :)
