Eustreptospondylus

This was not my first choice for "E".  I originally chose "enthusiasm", but I sat for a 1/2 hour with a blank computer screen.  I couldn't seem to organize my thoughts.  My writing kept wandering.  I think enthusiasm is a great word.  It evokes passion and eagerness, but today I hit a roadblock in the flowing prose department.  
My husband witnessed my struggle this morning and suggested "Eustreptospondylus" instead.  I resisted at first but no epiphany came.  

So E is for Eustreptospondylus, a T-Rex like dinosaur found in England.

Hopefully I will have more luck with the "F" word tomorrow.

I also want to thank Deirdra Coppel over at http://astorybookworld.blogspot.com for awarding me with the "Inspiring Blog Award".  I am so honored to be included in her list.

  1. I think we'll all have luck with the F-word. Ha! That's the longest E word I've seen so far.

  3. Clearly you weren't enthusiastic about enthusiasm. I have never heard of this particular e word!

  4. You slipped in a few E words plus coming up with one I have never heard and not sure I can pronounce. It was fun.

    Be careful with that F word.
