Massive thanks for all your effort and input yesterday! I was spoilt for choice, ending up with 275 entries. However random.org has chosen the following five:
Ambiguity (suggested by Cassie Mae)
Angels (suggested by Sally)
Acute (suggested by Pete Denton)
Acatour (suggested by Samantha May - I actually couldn't find this in the dictionary, so I used it as a name!)
Arable (suggested by Maria Perry Mohan)
Thanks again! So here is what I have concocted:
Angels
had always had a certain ambiguity, being both human and divine, reflected
Acatour with an acute sense of malaise as he looked down on the arable fields
of medieval England.
B words, please! As many as you like, and they can be as obscure and outlandish as you like (feel free to use a dictionary for inspiration). The more words you suggest, the more chance you have of one being picked. It doesn't matter if you suggest the same word as someone else (as I know not everyone always has time to read all the comments); each will count as its own entry.
Before I go I want to do something I forgot to do yesterday: a big shout out to Arlee Bird, the mastermind behind the Challenge. (He's an A and a B!) Without him, Aprils would definitely not be as much fun.

Okay, my favorite B word:
Backstage
I'm a playwright and an actor, sometimes a director. Backstage is part of my life. Backstage is dark and cozy. Backstage sizzles with excitement while also providing peace and quiet. It's a haven, a heaven and a lovely place for an actor to find their center core and build the story. Backstage....

Angels always puzzle me a little bit. I believe in God and all that good stuff, but was always a little confused why he would need angels to do stuff. But hey, I'm open:)
