  • CONGRATS for the publication of the book !! I'm so glad this is finally happening ! I just have one question : how is are the contents organized ? Is it like a normal dictionary with entries in alphabetical order, or in order of creation like this tumblr, or something else entirely ? #Emotions #Language #Creativity
