The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows is a collection of invented words. The author, John Koenig, strives to fill a hole in the language--to give a name to emotions we all might experience but don't yet have a word for. Each of these intricate words has a story behind it, so I think it makes a perfect writing challenge. Are you ready to delve deeper into the English language?
NOTE: I did not come up with any of the words or definitions in this book, all credit gooes to John Koenig. I've simply gathered a few of my favorite in here.

My excerpt of stories (EN)
Those stories don't really have a link between each other. Those stories often don't have beginning nor ends. These are just things that I wrote a long time before. Those stories often talks about sad stuff like depression, heartbreak, drugs etc.. Those stories are sometimes not even stories, just conversation. Keep in mind that english isn't my first language so sometimes I make mistakes. If you want to give advice, it's always welcomed.Complete
