Today I’m going to show how to make new words, but before we dive into creation I need to share with you some important knowledge about this craft. Creating new words is an exhausting and daunting task, as the legibility in written word and pronunciation on the tongue must be organic to fool the reader that this word had always existed when the opposite is true.

Keep in mind when creating words they’re must be a purpose for its creation. Either to recreate a word that you don’t see as adequate or they’re is no word in the English language to properly convey your meaning to the audience.

Here’s an example from my short story Miria’s Marvellous Mavelcation where I use the word Mavelcation:

With the dragon futility trying to chase her down it opens it’s jaws wide with Master Avarie mousing up and out of it’s jaw perching on it’s head as fire spews out. The fire nipping at her heels, the pit inside her widens and groans wanting to swallow her hollow clinging to a hand rail that doesn’t exist and instead of holding on like last time she let’s go delving deep inside, darkness surrounds her and waits for what feels for an eternity and they’re in the pit there’s a light burning brightly, reaching out for it Miria feels a brightness fly over her skin transforming her and morphing her Mavelcation.  

The use of Mavelcation shows a person going from human being to a person made of fire in descriptive detail this so the readers get a descriptive meaning of the word without spoon feeding it to them. I could have used metamorphosis in the title, but Mavelcation is tantalisingly magical on the tongue and creates intrigue for the reader. Now it’s your turn dear reader, go fourth and create your own words, attached below is a handy chart (proofreader.com) of where words begin and were they end so you can create wonderful words like Mavelcation.
