Word for Word: Arm
2 min readFeb 20, 2022
I’m in a writers’ group that meets on Zoom, though before the pandemic we met in person. Every week, we do a writing prompt: someone gives a page number, and our organizer picks a word from a huge dictionary. We write for five minutes.
This time, the first word selected from the dictionary was “Arkansas,” but we don’t typically use proper nouns. Someone suggested a word one line down, so we ended up with “arm.”
