Forbidden words
Justine is saving me the bother of blogging about words writers may not use. Go over there and have a look. It's funny.

About Me
- Name: Among Amid While
- Location: Sydney, Australia
I write fiction. My latest novel is Sea Hearts, published by Allen & Unwin in Australia—this novel is published as The Brides of Rollrock Island by David Fickling Books and Jonathan Cape in the UK, and by Knopf in the US, and will soon come out as Seeherzen from Rowohlt in Germany. I've also written Tender Morsels and five short story collections: White Time, Black Juice, Red Spikes, Yellowcake and Cracklescape.

And write novels :-)

Joe is a professor in Joplin, MO.
Sarah has an MFA and started selling a number of things.
Andrea came out with her novel, Mindscape! (which we critted the early sections of)
As Justine's comments are closed, may I add that only T.S. Eliot really gets away with 'crepuscular'. And the only reason latinate leftover words like 'pulchritudinous' have survived is because people read them in books, AND because they are not spoken very often (otherwise the syllables would get worn down and run together with use). So the power lies with you writers - use it or lose it, guys!!
