Old English Wordhord
Learning something about writing from reading “The Wordhord — Daily Life In Old English” by Hana Videen. To be a writer you need to have a word hoard, words and phrases that you can use to compose writings. But the word hoard is not always open and available. To write you must unlock your word hoard.
