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.

In this book, you'll get a behind the scenes look at how your favorite characters were born, my creative process, and the dirty details never before revealed. Tex's Camp Q&A: Come sit by the fire and ask me whatever you'd like. We can roast marshmallows, tell scary stories, and hang out in the comments like a big, happy family. Gator's Backstage Pass: A place full of secrets. Learn the-sometimes embarrassing-details on how my wildest scenes came to life, facts about the characters, the process, and myself.
