words to surprise, delight, and enamor: terms for the sunlight that filters through the leaves of trees, for dancing awkwardly but with relish, for the look shared by two people who each wish the other would speak first—

for lovers of words and those lost for words alike.

Anonymous asked: make a facebook page for these? Please please please

You’re welcome! Otherwordly on Facebook

I have Twitter and Pinterest too, if those are more your thing. I’m also going to start an Instagram, but two someones I don’t know have registered both “otherwordly” and “otherwordly_” and started posting things from my blog without me, so… I’ll have to think about that one a little longer. But come check out Otherwordly at these other neat places.

_{If you registered either of those Instagram accounts, I’d love to speak to you, so send me an ask or an email—thanks!}

Anonymous asked: are you still alive? please be more active ;)

kinda been a permanent passenger on the struggle bus lately but I deeply appreciate all of you guys and your continued support and messages (especially the “are you alive??” ones). as my thank-you, I’ll post a word tomorrow or bust. much love to everyone.
