Hello Rewriters! Last November, John Koenig published a lovely little book titled The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows in which he provides words and definitions for feelings not yet identified or articulated. Here’s an example: Slipfast adj. longing to disappear completely; to melt into a crowd and become invisible, so you can take in the world without having to take part in it – free to wander through conversations without ever leaving footprints, free to dive deep into things without worrying about making a splash.
