Come to the Fabulation!
A new word, whose definition I don't want to look
up because I'm having too much making up my own!
I'm part of a writer's group. We meet monthly
and "workshop" each other's stuff. We are serious writers, SERIOUSLY committed
to getting published! I didn't know being a serious writer could be so much fun.
Last night, we were evaluating a textbook about "Crafting Fiction." One chapter
was entitled "Romance and Fabulation."
Who knew that fabulation is a real word? We went home with an assignment: to come up with as many definitions of the word as possible, or, to use it in a story.
Here 's my first three stabs at defining fabulation:
The point in a woman's menstrual cycle when a bunch of follicles have a convention and select a candidate to run for ovum.
The gathering of believers just after the Rapture
The title of the keynote speaker's motivational address at the annual Textile Worker's Union meeting
I know you can do better than that.
Come on, make my day. I'll pick a favorite and the writer can come to my fabulation!
