Tip of The Day #3

I bet you have all just been dying to see what your tip of the day is for today? Even if you haven't it's just something to get you thinking and it keeps my brain going when I get in from a day at work. And I just love sharing my thoughts with anyone who is interested! So your Tip Of The Day is

"Get yourself a crossword book"

Why? I hear you ask. Crosswords are great for keeping the brain trained and not only that but they expand your vocabulary without you having to read a dictionary! When you were at school you were always discovering new words, now being older, you get stuck into the same routine every day and rarely learn a new word. So not only does a crossword get you thinking but you learn new words from it, and new meanings. Even if you don't get yourself a crossword book, get the paper and do that one for a bit of fun. Although i have to say doing celebrity crosswords won't help your vocabulary grow as much, however you will be very up to date with the celebs!

So when your next scanning your local newsagents for a magazine or something to occupy you on the train to work, grab a puzzler or crossword book, they last a while too. Just doing one a day will add at least one new word to your own dictionary for when you next sit down to write that novel or article. Happy Puzzling!

Come back tomorrow for Tip #4
