Velvet Verbosity

Vivanteur and Inventor of Geeky-Sexy

Vivanteur: (n) One whose profession is to live fully.

Geeky-Sexy: (adj) Super brainy, technically savvy, intellectually progressive, non-stop thinker, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound (someday).

I’m all about words.  I even invent new ones (see above).

I started this blog the same way most of us do.  Without a clue.  I hosted on a free site, and the cursor was just there, kind of winking at me, daring me to DO something.  The internet was my oyster, it seemed.  And then I just sort of blathered.  It was good.

After a time, this blog evolved to be the home of the Velvet Verbosity 100 Word Challenge, a weekly writing prompt for anyone who has a love of words in their bones, and is up to the challenge of using exactly 100 of them on a given topic.

This blog is not otherwise organized around any one central theme, but there is a common velvet thread running through it.  There is fiction, and truth, and biography, and humor, and life to be found in these pages.  Like the great Joni Mitchell, I don’t pretend to be anything but a “woman of heart and mind”.   Here you will find little pieces of both.

P.S. I’m aware my blog design could use some, um, upgrading.  Someday my geeky-sexy prince will come.  Til then, fair readers, judge by the content, not the packaging.
