Word(s) of the Day: axiom - a self-evident truth that requires no proof; neologize - to make up or use new words. Dr. Seuss was a good neologizer. I always wanted to give it a try, but I think I need more practice lol. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #fireknife #dance

In preparation for spooky season, I present my two latest books! I've already started A Botanist's Guide to Parties and Poisons, and I'm really enjoying it so far. 😁 #readsky #books #spooky #monster #death #murder #murdermystery

Word of the Day: deipnosophist (pronounced: dahyp-nos-uh-fist) - a person who is an adept conversationalist while dining. There really is a word for everything lol. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #fireknife #dance

I had fun with two words last time, so I decided to do two again! Word(s) of the Day: frippery - finery in dress, especially when showy, gaudy, or the like; fainaigue - to evade work or responsibility. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #royalty #succession #murder

I'm late! I thought I posted this already lol. Two for one this time. Word of the Day: oppidan - of a town. The other word is whirligig - anything that whirls about, spins, or moves in a circular or giddy way. Both are fun to say. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #royalty #succession #murder

One of the many nightmares that can happen to a writer, has happened to me. Only after I've finished whatever round of edits I'm on have I realized I want to change tenses.😩 Yay me. #wip #writesky #fiction #why

Word of the Day: constitutional - a walk for one’s health. I thought this word meant something else when I first saw it.😅 I think it'd be fun to use for a historical piece. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #royalty #succession #mystery

Update: I did not, in fact, like the book. I have returned it to the library. Guess it's on to the next one. #booksky #readsky #beauty&beast #disappointed

Word of the Day: hent - to seize/take hold of something. Gonna be honest and say this is the first time I've heard this word. Kind of awkward for me to use lol. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #royalty #succession #crown

Word of the Day: impervious - incapable of being influenced, persuaded, or affected. I've definitely seen this word a time or two while reading lol. I don't use it in my own writing, but I think I should. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #icecream

Things I did instead of writing: bowling! I've loved bowling since I was a kid. The excitement of getting a strike is such a great feeling lol. My uncle was preparing for a tournament and took me with him to practice. This is probably one of my best games.😁 #bowling #fun #family #hobbies

Word of the Day: sough - to make a soft sound; moaning, whistling, rustling, sighing, murmuring etc. I wanted to do something different with this word at first, but decided to go the safe route lol. Maybe next time. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #busstop

Word of the Day: wisenheimer - a smart aleck who makes overly clever, obnoxious remarks; a “wise guy”. I don't think I did too bad!😄 I'm pretty sure I'll use this word again. It's a fun one. #writesky #readsky #shortstory #fiction #iceskating

Ever since I started reading novels again, I've realized my vocabulary is limited. In an effort to remedy that, I'm going back to school! Jk lol. But just like I used to have to use a vocab word in a sentence, I'll use the word of the day in a short story! #shortstory #writesky #readsky

Terrible joke meme made of 3 stacked images from a moving scene in the film Finding Neverland.
1. Close up of a young boy (Freddy Highmore) sitting on a park bench with his father looks up at him and says "Dad, can you tell me what a solar eclipse is?" 
Image 2: Close-up of the dad (Johnny Depp) looking down at his son saying "No Sun" 
Image 3: the father embraces the boy as they sit on a bench. The boy is crying at the dad joke.

Spent some time at the library and found this interesting book. To read the second POV, you flip the book upside down! I don't know why, but it kind of reminds me of those chose your own adventure books. I don't think I'll read it, but the concept was cool! #library #books #booksky #readsky

Today while writing, I learned that a litter is not only trash, animal babies, and a thing cats pee in, but it is also, apparently, what those carriages that are carried by men are called. Funny how one word can mean so many different things. #writesky #writingcommunity #learning #words #wip

One of my favorite things to do is bowling. I hardly get the chance to go, but my aunt and uncle took me today! My highest score was 77, but I was smiling the whole time. 😄 #familytime #bowling #fun
