Day 4: #atozchallenge
Wikipedia.org
Don’t you hate it when the word you want to write escapes you? There’ve been times I’ve stared at my computer screen repeatedly saying the word aloud as if it would magically appear.
That sort of magic rarely happens, so I’ve collected a number of dictionaries at my disposal, and they have proven to be life savers.
My Top 20 Dictionaries for Writers:
- Merriam-Webster
- Your Dictionary
- The Dialect Dictionary
- Written Sound
- Urban Dictionary
- Net lingo
- Word Hippo
- Visual Words
- Idioms and Phrases Free Dictionary
- Words to Use
- Grammar Definitions
- Literature Glossary
- Glossary of Books
- Wordnik
- Cliché Finder
- Grimace Project.net
- Southernisms
- Nonverbal Dictionary
- 100 Words for Facial Expressions
- One Look Dictionary
Do you have a favorite dictionary you use? Feel free to add to my list and pass it on.
