I was lying in bed the other night and heard this strange word in my head - staria (pronounced as in stasis). Then came the meaning - a worried or troubled thought.
I think I've invented a new word, folks! How groovy is that!
You may not know but I am writing an adult's book in conjunction with the second of the Destiny trilogy, entitled The Zealot's Eyes.
I have written about 17,000 words and am always busy making more notes.
The protagonist is a young man called Toby Reeves who falls into mental illness and the journey of that experience.
When I get a chance I will give you a sample of the writing - stay tuned.
I will definitely be using staria in this book! Toby is a troubled boy.
Take care and I will be in touch again soon.
