January 4 question -
Do you have a word of the year?
I've never had one before.
"Instead of a rigid resolution, a Word of the Year is your constant (yet gentle) reminder to focus on creating positive change." https://www.elizabethrider.com/word-of-the-year/
Achieve is the first word to come to mind.
I figured I'd do more research first.
- What could I use more of in my life? Positivity, encouragement, triumphs
- What could I use less of in my life? Stress, feeling overwhelmed, death
- What characteristics would I like to have? intelligent, kind, ethical, self-confident, protective, resilient, leader, affectionate
- By the end of the day, I feel exhausted
- How do I want to feel? accomplished
And then I took a quiz. https://www.quizexpo.com/your-word-of-the-year-quiz/
That ending doesn't feel right, being told to just toughen up. Nor do I seek revenge.
Achieve and accomplish are the words I like the most so far. So I went to the thesaurus.
👆 SCORE 🎉
to achieve an advantage or a success
intransitive verb: to gain or have the advantage
to succeed in an activity or to achieve something
That's my word of the year.

It picks up where the first book left off. It is still a Speculative Fiction / Urban Fantasy, set in 2006, though this one focuses a bit more on the paranormal romance angle. The main characters pass for the 18–29 age bracket, so it's still New Adult. (Though college is no longer one of Wend's primary concerns. She has something entirely different to learn now.)
