I don’t try to be bombastic, but do have a decent vocabulary and do use it. If you haven’t yet read any of my books and are curious about the vocabulary therein, check out either of my series:

Last week’s word I admitted I learned from Doctor Who. This week’s word, I already knew but did hear in a Doctor Who episode.

I will admit, I first learned this word from watching Doctor Who. It just walks away…

Dyslexic fingers, or something worse?

by

I’ve had more and more of a problem with my fingers not typing what my brain wants. I’ve always had what I can “finger dyslexia.” I think everyone has that: such as typing teh instead of the.

But now quite often, I have to talk aloud, or even take a word apart and say it syllable by syllable to get my fingers to correctly spell a word.

I hope it’s just fatigue or old age and not the sign of something else.

Do any other writers have this problem?

I’ve often said I’ve never met a pie I didn’t like, but I remember that was so super-sweet it was cloying; I couldn’t finish eating the slice. That pie, I can honestly say, I didn’t like quite so much.

Dear Character…

Thank you very much, Dear Character, for your innovative and completely unexpected action. It did solve a dilemma quickly, decisively, and, in my opinion anyway, humorously.

However, you have now totally messed up my plot arc, and I must really twist things to make happen what must happen.

Next time, perhaps you could consult with me first?

It is an apophthegm that many words have variant spellings.

I feel really gormless.

I was amazingly distracted by quite a few disparate things and didn’t post my Favorite Word of the Week yesterday. Oops!
