Suddenly I’m Into Hyphenation
And not in a way to break up words but to cobble together nouns, adjectives and prepositions to make new hybrid somethings, words or phrases, I guess. When did this come about? turn into a pattern, a stylistic tic for me? Is it laziness on my part, not wanting to search around for a more perfect, apt single word? Or is it me wanting to have fun, inject a spirit of colloquial play into whatever I'm writing? Could hypens be part of my style, my voice? Or does it simply show I'm an indecisive, imprecise writer, too lazy to sift and wait for the right word?
