I say if you like them enough then keep it. You have a lot more leeway after, being published especially if your book is a hit.J.L.

Academics and critics do it all the time, but unless its a noun for aomething that doesn't exist and therefore doesn't have a name, then I don't do it in my writing. <br /><br />You are so right though, language which doesn't change and grow by adding new words and phrases looses the ability to describe the world, and what's the point in that?kar_tookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256993702885548804noreply@blogger.com
