Like Mr. Miyagi teaching ‘the crane’ to Daniel-san, I will now teach you your own ‘special move’—a once-a-book word that will awe and befuddle your readers. I beg of you: Use it sparingly!
Sanguine: You have to love this adjective. Depending on your context, it can mean either cheerful or murderous. Who among us hasn’t been to a family reunion that starts off sanguine and ends up sanguine?
I agree. “Sanguine” is a very intriguing word. I don’t think I used it in my novel, but I certainly will keep it in mind. Thanks very much for following my blog!
No problem! I agree “Sanguine” is a little tough to fit into most tones, unless your writing in Fantasy, or maybe in a style like Jane Austen.
Ah, ha,ha,ha! That’s hilarious. You’re so clever, James. 😀
Glad you liked it! Thanks for dropping by.
