A to Z: Largiloquent

This A to Z Challenge has been so much fun for me.  A chance to learn new words when I write my blog, a chance to make new blogger friends when I visit yours, a chance to expand my world through all the lovely and varied themes with over 1800 participants in this year's event!  That's why today's word is so special...largiloquent...it means full of words and sometimes writers are so full of them that we can't commit them to paper fast enough before they are gone forever. Are you largiloquent today? If you are, what do you plan to do with them?  WRITE...CREATE...ENJOY THE MOMENT BEFORE IT'S GONE!
