Pagan lady what likes to write and stuff.
Word count for today is 1,690 for a total of 47,447. I need a really solid 5k day, but I keep hovering around 1,600-2,000. (I'll be finishing the book at around 60,000, so that's my goal this month.) Oh well, could be worse. #amwriting #NaNoWriMo22

Today's word count is 2,067 for a total of 45,757. The writing just flowed today. I could have written more, but instead we put up the tree and watched the new #AChristmasStory . :-)

The Ravenson family Yule tree is up! #Yule #Pagan #YuleTree
Word count today is 1,647 for a total of 43,690. I could write some more before bed, but I feel like I want to go over/rework the rest of my (sparse) outline to see if I can come up with something better. #amwriting #NaNoWriMo22
Today's wordcount is 1,036, for a total of 42,043. I was hoping to get a lot more done today but I'm stuck. NO idea what to throw at my character next. Something big is coming in about 3,000 words, but how to get her there? Need to noodle over this for a bit. #amwriting #NaNoWriMo22
Jane and Calvin Lord came around mine to ask about the old West house. Got a foul feeling off of them. Didn’t improve when they started talking. Persistent pisspuffins. Had to resort to my sword stick. Isabelle Dugger #hookland

“Tsundoku,” the Japanese Word for the New Books That Pile Up on Our Shelves, Should Enter the English Language

There are some words out there that are brilliantly evocative and at the same time impossible to fully translate. Yiddish has the word shlimazl, which basically means a perpetually unlucky person. German has the word Backpfeifengesicht, which roughly means a face that is badly in need of a fist.
