Current Entry随筆家 [ずいひつか] /(n) essayist/ (1939620)
Headword 1随筆家
Headword 2隨筆家
Reading 1ずいひつか
Part-of-speechn
English 1essayist
CommentIn Google, the second version gets only 1f the hits, but i think that is enough to warrant an inclusion (especially in view of the fact that 隨筆 alone gets _more_ hits than 随筆, which means that the ratio between the two versions of ずいひつか might change at any time).

Current Entry随筆集 [ずいひつしゅう] /(n) collection of literary jottings (essays)/ (1939630)
Headword 1随筆集
Headword 2隨筆集
Reading 1ずいひつしゅう
Part-of-speechn
English 1collection of essays (miscellaneous writings, literary jottings)
CommentGoogle shows about 10f the hits with the kanji version i am proposing to add - 10 efinitely warrants an inclusion.

I also suggest to change the English definition (whereby - in terms of English usage - i think the information in parentheses can be omitted entirely or at least reduced to its first part - i am including it to make your job easier).

English 1not good (improper conjugation)
Cross-reference良い
Referencemeikyo makes a special note of pointing out this is wrong

い・い【▽良い・▽善い・▽好い・▽佳い】
形・補形
「よい」の口頭語的な言い方。近世に「ヨイ」→「エエ」→「イイ」と転じた。
【語法】専ら、終止形と連体形を使う。*****打ち消し形を「いくない」とするのは誤り。*****【表記】→よい(良・善・好・佳)
 
lots of hits. e.g. いい時もあればいくない時もあるさ!
