It’s back, the annual A-Z Challenge, and I’m back too!
This April I’ll be resurrecting a theme I first used in 2016, and once again present daily pieces of flash fiction, stories between one and two hundred words, each of which contains one or two under-used or obsolete words.
I’m clearly a glutton for punishment!
I will, of course, explain their origins and meanings in the hope my tales make sense!
So, welcome to another month of scriptitation – a 17th-century noun meaning ‘continual writing’!
All the best.

I always enjoy a writerly challenge. Though I think, writing fiction during the challenge, and particularly such short fiction, is a challenge in the challenge and I commend your commitment.
Have a great April!

Cannot wait to see what words you have for us. Scriptitation has such a wonderful sound to it, although one has to have one’s tongue warmed up before trying to say it 😄

Keith,
We’re all gluttons for punishment embarking on another year of A2Zing but here we are once again about to step into center ring for a brain whipping! Perhaps we’ll cross paths frequently next month. You’ll find my Theme Reveal in today’s Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me post. Best of luck to you, my friend!

Hi Keith – I know I’ll do it … just haven’t got to the point of mentioning it … mine I’m sure will involve history of an area in London … but excellent to have some more unusual words thrown out at us … look forward to it – at least we can’t do much else! Cheers Hilary
