or an organized look at chaos!! I planned my FAL QAL list for the next three months. and I thought - well I had better pull out my blueberry crumble. It's the one I am struggling the most with. I had a clear vision as to how to start it - but the vision got VERY very muddy when it came time to calling it done..... So!!! My goal this weekend was to get it out, make a plan - and Oh! Look!! There are projects on top of it!! Well - I will just get those out, and see what needs to be done to get them finished..... and........ Thus........ This is whats on the wall this morning: Oh!!! And in the midst of this - The dear husband says - Hey I need to go to the sale barn.... want to go with me? I said when are you leaving. He says oh about an hour. I say - can we leave 15 minutes earlier and stop at Inspirations Quilt shop???? They are a part of the Row by Row Shop hop - I might have NEEDED their row and their plate!! And when we got home we had a huge rain storm ( for all of 15 minutes) but because our ground is completely saturated we had 3 lakes, immediately And THIS!! It said - your brain will be okay And then I came back inside and my brain went - Ohh!!! You need to come up with a plan for your July sew day - and this popped into my mind and I went to work - and this morning........ This is the argument going on in my brain ( or brian - depending on how much caffiene you have had so far) Linking up to: Pachwork Times Cooking Up Quilts Love LaughQuilt

17 Words To Use In Your Essays To Impress Your English TeacherAfter years of writing assignments all throughout school, you start to become repetitive when choosing what words to use in your essays. But there is a whole language out there full of words that are sure to impress your English teacher! Teachers grow tired of reading commonplace words like "good" "says" and "thinks" in essay after essay! So next time you walk into English class, keep in mind these great words to use in your essays!1. Myriad Definition: (noun) a countless or extremely great number Replaces: a lot Myriad is one of the greatest words to use in your essays! We all have a tendency to say things like "a lot of examples" or "many experiences" in our essays, but that doesn’t make your essay stand out to your teacher. If you want to make your teacher perk up, be sure to include this word in your essay! An example sentence could be "The author suggests a myriad of solutions for the problem." 2. Asserts Definition: (verb) state a fact or belief confidently and forcefully Replaces: says Another stellar word to add to your mental dictionary is "asserts". This verb is much more powerful than the alternative "says", but it doesn’t make you sound like a vocabulary nerd when you write it! Asserts can be used in a myriad of situations, but make sure you don’t say it so frequently that it becomes just as repetitive as "says"! An instance where asserts would fit perfectly is "The author asserts that the issue is lacking simple solutions".3. Egregious Definition: (adjective) outstandingly bad; shocking Replaces: bad Why use an adjective like "bad" when you could easily switch it out for a scholarly word like "egregious"! This word is sure to impress your English teacher, so you should remember to use it in your next essay! While there are a myriad of words that can replace "bad", such as "dreadful", and "terrible", egregious is one of my favorite words! It rolls off the tongue and makes you sound like a literary genius! A sample sentence could be "The author asserts that other solutions to the problem are simply egregious."4. Erroneous Definition: (adjective) wrong; incorrect Replaces: wrong Erroneous is an easy word to remember because the word means what it sounds like - something containing error. Including erroneous in your essays will take your writing to the next level! After reading a myriad of essays containing simple words like "wrong" and "flawed", your teacher will be refreshed by your vast vocabulary! When you assert your opinions using elevated vocabulary, your teacher will note that you’re a real brainiac, and respect you for that! A perfect opportunity to use this word is when describing an egregious statement from the author : "The author’s solutions for the problem were merely erroneous and absurd ideas."5. Engenders Definition: (verb) to cause or give rise to Replaces: causes When you replace "causes" with engenders, you’re sure to knock your teacher’s socks off! While "causes" isn’t the most egregious word to write in an essay, it can still get worn out after too much use. A myriad of students will write about what causes events in their next essay, but you’ll be the only one to describe what engenders events! Here’s a sample sentence so you know exactly what you’re doing: "The author is not at all erroneous when she asserts that solving the problem will engender a better quality of life."6. Employs Definition: (verb) to make use of Replaces: uses For the longest time, I couldn’t think of another word to replace "use". Eventually I came across "utilize", but I used it so frequently that it became as egregious as "use"! Finally, I began writing "employs" instead. There are a myriad of ways to use "employs" in your essay, but no matter how you say it, this word will engender more success in your essay! Employ has a double meaning, because it also means to give a job to someone. But it isn’t erroneous to use "employ" in the second sense of the word. For example :"The author employs rhetorical questions in order to assert her beliefs in a more persuasive manner."7. Salient Definition: (adjective) most notable or important Replaces: important Salient is a great word to employ when writing your next essay. While a myriad of other words can easily replace "important", I usually rely on this word to take my essay to the next level! Salient can easily replace words like "main" or "important", just be sure not to use it erroneously! I don’t think anyone could argue that replacing "important" with salient wouldn’t engender a better written essay. A great way to use this word is "The author’s most salient solution is rather egregious, because one can assert that her suggestions would fail to solve the problem."8. Reasons Definition: (verb) think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic Replaces: thinks Like employs, reasons is a word with two very different definitions. But "reasons" will most likely engender success when you employ the verb form of the word to replace "thinks". A myriad of instances come up when writing an essay where you’ll need to describe what a person thinks, but we all know variety is a salient component of every good essay! You can switch out "thinks" for "reasons", but be sure not to switch it out for erroneous words like "extrapolates" just to sound smarter! To-the-point writing with loads of variety is what most teachers crave! So you can definitely write something along these lines in your next essay :"The author reasons that we can solve the problem if we all work together, but the methods she asserts will help us do so are egregious."9. Advantageous Definition: (adjective) providing an advantage; favorable; beneficial Replaces: good One word all teachers see far too much is "good"! Teachers all of my high school career have asserted that they do not wish to see "good" in any student essays that year, but the word always sneaks in! Good has become an egregious word that no teacher can escape! While it isn’t erroneous to use "good" to describe pleasing things in your essay, there are a myriad of better replacement words that you can turn to when you need to describe something "good". My go-to alternative for good is "advantageous", and employing this word engenders a fabulous essay! You could write "The author’s most salient solution is her most advantageous, as one can reason that it would effectively solve the problem."10. Galvanize Definition: (verb) shock or excite (someone), typically into taking action Replaces: motivates Often times while writing, it's advantageous to address how the author's words and technique affect the reader. If the writer aims to galvanize his readers, he or she is basically calling the reader to action, to stand up against egregious crimes, erroneous accusations, or a myriad of other injustices. If you notice that the author employs intense diction, or asserts outright that his speech is meant to engender change, you should probably us the word "galvanize" at least once in your essay! After seeing that word in your essay, your teacher will reason that you understood the text well and were able to create an essay regarding the most salient theme in the piece.11. Craft Definition: (verb) to make or manufacture (an object)) with skill and careful attention to detail. Replaces: makes/produces/writes I love the word "craft" because it instantly fills your teacher’s mind with imagery that will galvanize her to keep on reading! Instead of asserting that a writer "produces a speech" or "writes a story", employ this artful word! "The speaker crafts his lecture by including a myriad of allusions to other salient speeches" is a great start to a thesis statement! Varied word choice is always advantageous in writing, whereas a limited vocabulary can prove to be egregious! While your peers write essays filled with erroneous grammar and improper uses of diction, you’ll be creating a unique essay! Since "craft" alters the tone of your entire essay, you can reason that it will engender a higher score on your paper!12. Substantiate Definition: (verb) provide evidence to support or prove the truth of Replaces: proves Throughout an analysis essay, you probably craft a myriad of phrases employing the word "prove". After all, every author’s goal is to prove something, right? However, it’s advantageous to include a greater variety of words, in order to engender an essay worthy of an A! You never want to use this word erroneously, though, or else you’ll have an egregious outcome! Your teacher wants to see that the piece you read galvanized you to assert your opinion with a wider vocabulary, but tossing in big words incorrectly won’t help you. Before you use this word, a very salient step is ensuring that you reason through all of your vocabulary options; does the author vindicate, confirm, justify, or actually substantiate the claim? There are so many words out there, make sure you choose the right one!13. Caustic Definition: (adjective) able to burn or corrode organic tissue by chemical Replaces: mean/harsh In order to substantiate that an author’s tone is confrontational, sarcastic, or rude, you should use one precise term: caustic. Like "craft", "caustic" is a word filled with imagery that is sure to engender advantageous results regarding your grade and your teacher’s opinion of you. While it certainly isn’t egregious to replace "caustic" with a word like "bitter", "abrasive", or a myriad of other terms, in my opinion, employing caustic stirs a much stronger emotion in the grader. Upon reading that word, one will reason that the caustic person is dangerous and malicious. Make sure you don’t overuse this word though; you should only use it to accurately describe some salient topics, otherwise it may slip out and erroneously describe something. Ultimately though, asserting your opinions with the help of this word will galvanize your teacher to give you an A!14. Elucidate Definition: (verb) to make clear Replaces: explain While writing essays, there's no doubt that you'll be doing some elucidating. You'll want to ensure that your readers clearly understand your ideas and follow your train of thought. At the same time, you can also plug in elucidate in some of your essays to show off your sophisticated vocab! 15. Esoteric Definition: (adjective): intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest. Replaces: obscure Esoteric is one of those words that you probably don't commonly use so it might not exactly replace an overused word but it perfectly captures something that's not so easy to explain. The next time you're trying to explain something to a school friend or teacher, let 'em know that they clearly don't share your esoteric knowledge on the subject. 16. Tenuous Definition: (adjective) very weak or slight Replaces: weak or fragile Tenuous is often used to describe the state of a relationship or feelings so don't be surprised if you start using this word to relay your feelings about a new guy in your life or maybe even how you feel about your latest impulse purchase. 17. Perfunctory Definition: (adjective) (of an action or gesture) carried out with a minimum of effort or reflection. Replaces: hasty, careless I personally love this word because it's a grown-up way to say "half-ass." I'm certain you've never written an essay in a perfunctory manner but for those times that you want to express how your classmate did a perfunctory job in contributing to your group project or tell your boyfriend that he gave you a perfunctory kiss and he needs to step it up, it's perfect!
