2023 A to Z Challenge Blog for the letter N

April 16, 2025 Well, we might be in the second half of April, but Old Man Winter must’ve found someone’s Viagra. Rain, snow, and cold. How long can he keep it up? I’m done with it and him. I want those spring flowers and warmer temperatures.

But it is what it is, and other that bitching about the weather, there’s nothing I can do, although I have been looking at brochures for fall cruises. I just have to check with the surgeon about flying.

Today’s letter is N. My mind is a blank. I can think of nothing. Since I usually have plenty to say, this has never happened to be before, not even once. Writer’s Block? No way! I don’t want to be a Negative Nellie, but how do I deal with this?

If you’ve guessed that I’ve decided to blog about negative words that start with N, you win the prize.

There are more negative words than those that start with N. Here’s a list that might interest you. https://fluentland.com/negative-vocabulary-word-list/

I’m going to focus on the N words. These include: naive, nasty, naughty, nausea,nauseous, negate, negative, neither, never, no, nobody, nondescript, nonsense, none, no one, not, nothing, nowhere, and noxious. I’m sure that, given the circumstances, other N words can be negative, but today these will have to suffice. To amuse yourself, try to use at least a coupleof them today. As for me, I’m naive enough to realize that nasty weather can bring out the naughty in me. You’re turn.

But never can be something positive.

For my blind follower, the meme says: You will never regret the times you stopped to listen to a loved one, or put down your phone to be present, or paused to notice something beautiful, or made an effort to be kind. This is the good stuff. Don’t miss it.

Come back tomorrow for the letter O. Here’s the MASTER LIST https://tinyurl.com/tauke86z
