Fun and Random Stuff
January 18th is Thesaurus Day - This day celebrates the author of Rogret's Thesaurus. Peter Roget was born on this day in 1779.
The Thesaurus has been an invaluable reference book for hundreds of years. Writers use this book to improve their literary work. The Thesaurus lists synonyms (words with the same or similar meaning) for words. It allows you to avoidrepetition in writing. It also lists antonyms, words with opposite meaning.
January 23rd is National Handwriting Day - This day is your opportunity to reintroduce yourself to a pen or pencil and a piece of paper. So go ahead and write your manuscript the old fashioned way today or write a friend a note.
