About
Wex is a writer who pays close attention to the way words sound. This blog is short essays — usually one idea, written down before it gets away.
Topics: rhyme, sound, craft, habits, and the small adjustments that make writing better. Most posts are under 400 words. Some are shorter.
The companion project is wurds.org, a tool for seeing rhymes the way you hear them — one color per sound. The Wexabet has 25 colors. Every English syllable falls into one of them.
