Writerly Wednesday

 I've got two to-go words this week. Instead of synonyms, names popped into my mind. For cantankerous, my character Keeper. For charismatic, Cary Grant. What or who pops for you?

For cantankerous, me. For charismatic? No politician or world leader. Ever.

Grerat thoughts Sandra, Cantankerous it must be negativity in myself, and Charismatic must be my favourite Danny Boy.
Have a good Wednesday,
Yvonne.

I feel cantankerous right now because I haven't had enough coffee yet. For charismatic Winston Churchill. Hugs, Valerie

Hi Sandra - love the words ... cantankerous - oh so many of those. Charismatic ... perhaps Clint Eastwood .. and others lots probably if I get to think about it ... charismatic bloggers = many! Cheers Hilary

I'm not sure... I'll have to think about it!

Christine said...

Cantankerous - My dear departed mother in law, charismatic - our Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau.

D.L. Finn said...

I like your picks and second them :)

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

Cantankerous: How Bleubeard sees Squiggles (ill tempered and hard to handle).
Charismatic: How Squiggles sees me (charming and caring). It's truly a cat's meow day.

On a less cat related definition,
Charismatic: Joe Biden
Cantankerous: The guy Biden beat.

I see you as charismatic not cantankerous, Yvonne:)

Not enough coffee makes us cantankerous, for sure.
Winston Churchill. What an icon.

Carismático Alain Delon , Thor. Te mando un beso

Birgit said...

the first...Maurice Chevalier as he was like this in real life and not loveable like in his later films. For the 2nd....Clark Gable..the King of Hollywood. I would have chosen Cary Grant too. :)

Excellent words Sandra! I have to think about it, although, I looked at your comments and I thought it was cute, when one of your followers mentioned our Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau as charismatic.
