Pick a word you don’t know. Find a dictionary (online or not), pick a letter and read down the lists of words until something unusual and unknown comes up.
Now write ad adventure for yourself based on the word you pick and it’s meaning. Make sure you use the word once and then write around it, showing the meaning so that no one reading your work would have to look up that word. Make the meaning clear through use of your story telling ability.

that’s an interesting exercise.. I might have a try at that..:)
I get all kinds of odd ideas when I’m trying to come up with a prompt each day.
That’s a writing exercise in itself.
