What is Wordscience?
This is Wordscience, and welcome to it!
Since I began freelancing full-time (well, I have a two-day-a-week writing job now but, still), I have been planning a revamped website and blog for web writing and writing in general – and here we are! I’m really pleased with it and I hope you get something out of it. I’m always open to suggestions so feel free to get in touch!
What does the name mean, you ask? Well, nothing. And lots of things. Years ago, after an overheard snippet of conversation, I took to the phrase “new science.” Something about the sound of it appealed to me and maybe a bit of what the effects a “new science” could have. The name “Wordscience” is partly an extension of that, just a phrase I liked the sound of. It also makes me think of the effect of words. Not that I believe words follow an actual science (though that’s kind of a trip to think about). I just like using them and thinking about how they work, and will tend to write about that here.
Plus, if you mispronounce it it sounds like “wordsy-ence,” which is a pretty fun nonexistent word too. I can exhibit symptoms of wordsy-ence sometimes. Like right now.
Anyway, I hope other web writers out there enjoy it here, and maybe even web readers too!
