]]> artwiculate logoI’m a writer – perhaps not a good one but it’s what I fill out on my tax returns year after year. As with all writer I read, write and read some more. Learning new words is one for the tricks of the trade but, to be completely honest, I couldn’t be bothered. ‘Word a day’ calendars were a cool novelty but have died – and carrying around an oxford dictionary with you isn’t exactly practical now is it?

However, I have found a solution to my literary conundrum – Artwiculate. To put it simply, it’s a word a day calander for Twitter. You follow the Artwiculate account and use their word (in context) within one or more of your tweets. If your tweet is good enough, it will get picked up by them and earn you points (which are purely for status within the ranks of Artwiculate).

I think this is a cool way to learn new words. For example, did you know Mellifluous means smooth and flowing like honey; normally used to describe a sound or voice?
