CBee Nice! I always heard it said “pablum” in reference to baby food - maybe sort of a rice cereal? My boys never liked it 😂 5d

lil1inblue @CBee I guess Pablum was a brand name for baby cereal, and the name was based on this word! Kinda interesting! 5d

CBee @lil1inblue very! 5d

dabbe I think a few of my students thought I was this, but they probably used an easier swear word instead. 😅 3w

CBee @dabbe oh please! I could never think of you as bossy or belligerent. If you were strict, it‘s because you wanted to push them to do their best! Would‘ve loved to see you in action 😁 3w

dabbe @CBee You are too kind! I definitely was a pusher--in all the best ways, of course! 😘 3w

vivastory 😂😂😂😂 3w

Megabooks Idk. This might be #goals for me??? 3w

CBee @Megabooks 😂😂😂 I don‘t know that I‘d necessarily blame you! 3w

I‘ve been spending the day working on a new novel idea, and it‘s my first time writing without any kind of outline.

It is both terrifying and exhilarating. 😂

Ruthiella Good luck! 🍀 1mo

julesG It does sound more eloquent than 'pantser' 😉 1mo

AnnCrystal It's Exhilarating! 👏🏼😉👌🏼 You got this 📝💝.. 1mo

CBee How exciting!! You can do it 🙌🏻 1mo

CatLass007 Awesome! I didn‘t know you are a novelist. Have you written anything in which I might be interested? You have to remember that I‘m interested in reading every genre. Also, I agree with @julesG, it does sound more eloquent than “pantster.” Thanks for the tag! 1mo

BookmarkTavern @CatLass007 This one‘s a cozy mystery! And nothing published as of yet! But I‘m hoping to have something by the end of the year to start querying. We‘ll see how that goes! 🤞🏻 1mo

CatLass007 Excellent! I love cozies. Does it have a theme? Cats, dogs, book club, baking, crafting, etc.? Or do you know yet? 1mo

BookmarkTavern @CatLass007 my amateur sleuth has inherited an old train diner car and is restoring it as an old fashioned diner! 1mo

CatLass007 Cool!! I definitely would patronize the diner. (edited) 1mo

An interesting word found as I was reading the introduction to the tagged book.

My #weirdwordwednesday pick! I remember discovering this word during a word game - maybe Words With Friends or similar - and always thought it was a bit silly sounding. This little googol mascot guy should have googly eyes, I think 😂 #weirdwords

CatLass007 Another great word! I was listening to Death Comes To Pemberley and decided to look up a word instead of just figuring out what it meant from its context. I actually should have stuck to my habit with this particular word because it was very difficult to find a real definition or even a picture. What on earth did the word jives mean in 1803? 1mo

BookmarkTavern I heard the word googolplex (10 raised to the power of a googol) first when I was in school, and that‘s how I learned about googol. 😄 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 jives? In 1803? Hmm. I have no idea 😂😂 1mo

CBee @BookmarkTavern I should have included googolplex! 1mo

CatLass007 I‘ve heard of gewgaws but not googols. “Jives around the prisoner‘s wrists,” was the quote in the book. Shackles. 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 gotcha. What are gewgaws? 1mo

CatLass007 Gewgaws are what I would call “thingies.” I‘ve never actually looked up the definition. As usual. 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 I looked it up 😂 Couldn‘t resist. “Gewgaws:
a showy thing, especially one that is useless or worthless.” 1mo

CatLass007 Okay, so I was wrong. Thingies are useful. 1mo

CBee @CatLass007 I agree! Thingies are very useful, especially when you don‘t know what something is called. “That thingie over there” and such 😂 1mo

CatLass007 Exactly!! 1mo
