As a student who is looking to start working in 2013, I am well aware of the importance of dictionary building. Therefore, I decided to do a 30-day dictionary challenge. My challenge is to add AT LEAST 50 new words to my dictionary EVERY DAY! (Yes, even on the days when I’m in Philly for the convention. Lol.)

Feel free to join me on this challenge. You might need to alter the goal of 50 words per day to suit your own standards.

I plan to get words from text books, biographies, news stories, and dictionaries. I will post daily updates on my tally of words for the day. Feel free to share your tally too, or you can be an invisible challenge participant…It doesn’t matter, as long as we triumphantly progress in the task of building our dictionaries.

[SIDEBAR: Don’t forget to backup your dictionaries on a flash drive, or alternative storage source, as you build them.]

For the love of steno!

Happy Dictionary Building,

Elsie Villega
