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! 🍀 7d

julesG It does sound more eloquent than 'pantser' 😉 7d

CBee How exciting!! You can do it 🙌🏻 6d

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! 6d

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! 🤞🏻 6d

CatLass007 Excellent! I love cozies. Does it have a theme? Cats, dogs, book club, baking, crafting, etc.? Or do you know yet? 6d

BookmarkTavern @CatLass007 my amateur sleuth has inherited an old train diner car and is restoring it as an old fashioned diner! 6d

CatLass007 Cool!! I definitely would patronize the diner. (edited) 6d

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? 1w

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. 😄 1w

CBee @CatLass007 jives? In 1803? Hmm. I have no idea 😂😂 7d

CBee @BookmarkTavern I should have included googolplex! 7d

CatLass007 I‘ve heard of gewgaws but not googols. “Jives around the prisoner‘s wrists,” was the quote in the book. Shackles. 7d

CBee @CatLass007 gotcha. What are gewgaws? 6d

CatLass007 Gewgaws are what I would call “thingies.” I‘ve never actually looked up the definition. As usual. 6d

CBee @CatLass007 I looked it up 😂 Couldn‘t resist. “Gewgaws:
a showy thing, especially one that is useless or worthless.” 6d

CatLass007 Okay, so I was wrong. Thingies are useful. 6d

CBee @CatLass007 I agree! Thingies are very useful, especially when you don‘t know what something is called. “That thingie over there” and such 😂 6d

CatLass007 Exactly!! 6d

#weirdwords @cbee

shortsarahrose In the Milwaukee airport, after you get through security, there is a sign designating the “recombobulation area” 😆 2w

vivastory @shortsarahrose Lolol I've only been in the Milwaukee airport once & it was when I was a smoker (I quit 12 yrs ago) & I still recall the smoker's lounge inside 2w

It‘s raining outside, I‘ve got hot chocolate, the blanket right out of the dryer, and a lovely book. It‘s a perfect afternoon.

Do I have 10 different rain related words saved in my notes app? No comment.

AnnCrystal While not my favorite adaptation, I found it interesting how the movie Dracula 2000 connected Dracula to Judas instead of Vlad II Dracul.

Although, much preferred the Dracula Untold movie, which was a clever masterpiece that combined the History of Vlad II Dracul with the Vampire Legend (historical fiction). Wish they had made a novelisation. 🥀🦇💝. (edited) 3w
