Word of the Day: Effulgent

All right, I have a little bit of the indoor blues.  After spending most of my time outside this past weekend, it is very hard to get back into the swing of things.  However, I am a professional and I will press on.

How was your weekend?  I do hope that you all had a wonderful time.  For those of you who saw my post on Friday, I still don’t have a challenge winner.  Take a look at Friday’s post and see if you can use the word of the day in a sentence.  It needs to be a sentence that the readers following this blog and I will understand.  What do you have to lose?  Give it a try.

Let’s move on to today’s word of the day.  Jennifer Joseph Rodgers submitted the word effulgent.  Nice word, Jennifer.

We get our definition from our online source at www.thefreedictionary.com  I have to say I do love this website.  It always gives us great definitions to all of the words that we are seeking.
ef·ful·gent  (-fljnt, -fl-)
adj.
Shining brilliantly; resplendent.  See Synonyms at bright.

Well, I see an effulgent future for not only myself, but for that of the Prime Immortal Series as well…

I do like this word, yet I think for my writing I would still use the basic brilliant or bright.  I just like the sound of them better.  What do you think?  Can you use the word effulgent in a sentence and make me a believer?

I have another challenge for all of you out there in cyber space.  Grab your cell phones and send me a short video clip of you using the word in a sentence and I will give you a choice of any of the Prime Immortal products we have in our shop.  It could be a T-shirt, necklace, custom-made jewel bookmarker or the book itself.   

If we get several entries we may just post you on the website for the whole Prime Immortal fan club to view!

That’s all for now.  Until next time, remember to Read On!!!
