Jennifer at Willow West gave me another lesson. I’m learning to ‘turn a heel ‘. I’m so distractible that even counting to 13 I got lost. I blame the pretty Christmas music. It’s why I can’t do music as background. I tend to sing, quietly, in my head when I’m supposed to be paying attention to the lesson.
I’m torn. I want to keep knitting, but it’s time for NaNoWriMo!
Thank you, Jennifer. You are a patient teacher! โค๏ธ๐ค
Oh, and for those keeping watch on word count:
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โyour favorite word.โย Decide on your favorite word and use it in your post any way youโd like. Enjoy!
I have three favorite words. Without going into why, my first choice is pusillanimous. It means, to me, small minded. I think I fell in love with this one over 30 years ago. Other definitions include timid, lack of courage or confidence. With social anxiety getting worse I’m claiming the second definition. Small minded, though, I am not. When the world presents you with no safe haven showing courage seems wrong. One needs to grow their mind and embrace what you can learn through love. I’m working on it.
Do you remember vocabulary days from grade school? I can’t remember why I went to the kitchen, but I remember when I learned Abhor and Aloof. I’m guessing it was “A” day. It does seem these words combined could result in pusillanimity. Severe hatred combined with standoffishness.
My next favorite word is onomatopoeia. Isn’t it marvelous? A word that means words for sounds. And isn’t it fun to see other languages define cockadoodledoo or belch?
As I promised the finished hat, now in the charity bag.
Heels are happening now.
Shoot. I can’t show you the other double pointed needle socks that are also at heel stage. I need my tutoring session to learn how to ‘turn a heel’.
Okay Word Count calls. Currently at 5,441 so I still need lots more before bedtime. See ya tomorrow!
Works in progress.
I’ve only written 412 words so far today. Total in project 4,683. It’s fun so I need to get back to it. The family Pensรฉes is so interesting! I know, it’s all in my head. LOL!!!
I asked my husband for a one-liner. He said all I should think is a novel. So I did. Thus I am late. Does it still count?
One-Liner Wednesday is a fun prompt
Not much time. I still am developing characters and world building. The family Pensรฉes is nearly made. Popeye (papa), Paris (mama), Olive, Poppy, and now working on her twin, Pepper, the three offspring. Then I need a frienemy like Brutus.
I think they are currently on a spaceship but I’ll need a world. Lots to do before midnight!
To everyone else:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โelement.โ Use it any way youโd like. Have fun!
The elemental chart brings me to yawns. As crazy as I always was about science, chemistry class about did me in. Never a morning person, chemistry was first period. My teacher was a monotoned speaker. I did still come around for labs. I had a geek for a lab partner. She was fun and taught me well. I think it was due to her that I made a solid C+.
I always thought I could have done so much better if the class was later. If the teacher more excited about the subject matter. And if I could have approached the lessons with more creativity.
Drawing and coloring maps made the geography real. Singing the elements would have helped as little ditties always helped me remember. Games could have solidified information. I wish I was my own teacher!
Oh, nevermind. We all know my element. Creativity. Throw in some yarn and I’m in my element.
Meanwhile, I think I have enough yarn to make one more hat for charity.
No picture of plumbing issues. I don’t want to see it. But my shower is weeks from being done. The floor is finally dry. Now to get rid of the mold that has formed in the wall for years, maybe decades. The plumbing is put together. Once mold free the walls go back up. Meanwhile, I’m sorting
Mostly my aim is to have enough characters and a bit of plot on some kinda world. Three days!!!!! Yikes!!!!
