Wickhead believes Give somebody a candid compliment and its memory
can last for years; maybe a lifetime. But just because it comes
from the heart doesn t preclude a little topspin. That s where this
offbeat opus sallies forth. Why fore? Forsooth, it puts at your
nimble fingertips synapse-stimulating words and concepts which aid
your supple mind in tapping your soaring intellect to create the
vibration refreshing my liege. All this results not only in you
generating compliments with artistic flair, but also in you being
catapulted to the status of writer extraordinaire at the apex of
your game and this is good. For example: you could tell your
girlfriend she looks great. Or you could sprinkle in a little
verbal spice and say You re resplendent beyond regulations and as
radiant as a Nassau sunrise. Plus, I might add, the crem de la
crem, no whip Or, perhaps, you re at the computer and an unwanted
ad keeps popping up. You could ask your computer-whiz son for help
for the umpteenth time, or you could stay loose, write tight, and
inquire My good and skillful offspring, since you are renowned and
revered throughout the hood as the Commodore of Communication,
might you be able to jettison the ad into the ocean blue? And
wouldn t ya know, there s no hot water in the house; time to call
your handyman husband. But alas, you get his voicemail. The perfect
time for Hark, yon husband, tis I, the Lady of the Manor, and
forsooth, the royal water heater appears to no longer be all
systems go. Perhaps, when the affairs of state permit, you could
inspect the once bubbling cauldron and insight its triumphant
return of warmth to the castle s frosty faucets. I bid you a fond,
albeit a sans BTU adieu. There s a small sample demonstrating how
easy it is to be a more creative writer when you ve got the right
resource and, this is the right resource. Because when you use
verbal gusto you not only make a positive point, you become an
edifying and entertaining exponent of the art of the compliment.
Adure my friends, and may the bon mot be with you, not to mention
the auspicious aesthetic. Wickhead.
