Dear Diary: I'm feeling SCRIBACIOUS

What's the word I'm thinking of? Today, it's...

SCRIBACIOUS [scrib-AY-shuss] (adjective)

Fond of writing

"Heraud is a loquacious scribacious little man, of middle age, of parboiled greasy aspect, whom Leigh Hunt describes as ‘wavering in the most astonishing manner between being Something and Nothing."
--Thomas Carlyle, The Correspondence of Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo Emerson (1899)
