Word of the Day
Invidious (adjective) — objectionable in nature; envious; offensive; causing ill will; discriminatory; causing animosity (from Latin meaning "envious" or "hostile")
Word in a Sentence: In the fantasy novel Choices Meant for Gods, the ancient goddess, Julette, is an invidious creature who wishes to force the followers of The Master to worship her as their supreme being.
Your turn! It's been a while since we've done Word of the Day on a regular basis, so newcomers to Today the Dragon Wins may be unfamiliar with "the drill" here. At this point in the blog posting, you get to take today's Word of the Day and use it in a sentence you create from your own imagination. Whether you're a reader or a writer, it's a good way to sharpen those vocabulary skills and just do something different. (I also figure I'm staving off the onset of Alzheimer's by keeping my brain active…) So join in the daily interactive portion of the blog and leave your hit of creativity in the comment field!
"Some days, I just want the dragon to win."
