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:
Thanks, Kay

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
My first character developed after midnight. She has never seen her own face. Her reflective gift/curse is that she has always seen ghosts in the mirror or even the shiny ball when she was three. And the spirits talked to her and sang with her. Her parents thought that she was cute with her little imaginary friends. Tonight I shall dedicate the writing to All Saints Day. I hope it will be a meaningful write. (Word count 1,697 so far)
And it has been snowing since early this morning.
Sorry for the shaking. I was excited to see this beautiful scene. And grateful to have a bit of relief from the drought.
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:
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Maybe not my favorite book. Yet there are bits I think will come back to me in memory. Though I am not sure I will look for the next series book.
The characters and plot are a little different than most dystopias. The talents of some of the people are interesting. But let me say, Audio readers need to let us know when we are in a new chapter. I had a hard time figuring out who the point of view was most of the time.
Something I don’t often see in sci-fi/fantasy, but this seems a good genre for it, polyamory. No judgment, just a few people who love each other.
If you want something a little different, this is it. Try it. You might love it.
