anesthesia - Word of the Day - Sat May 31, 2025
Valkyrie commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
I'm going under anesthesia on Monday. I really hope they don't use new car smell -
Anyone else have that song stuck in their head now? There's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, Dear Liza, there's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Well fix it, dear Henry...

Apparently 🙄

No update from Birdy today?
-
I totally understand. I'm writing super slow at the moment too.

I'm glad to hear you will be able to participate in the anthology next year. FYI, the anthology theme changes every year, so the theme for 2026 will not be Creature Feature. The theme will be announced at the end of this year/early next year.

This plays perfectly into the blog I'm hoping to post next week
-
You're not behind at all. Most people send in submissions much closer to the due date. I've never had this many submitted so early, but I think it's awesome 😁
-
Oh man, is that all?
-
Lee, I still owe you an edit for your second story. I haven't forgotten. Life has just been a bit messy lately

This guy used to drive me nuts I use actual paperclips all the time. I was actually looking for one at work yesterday Coq au vin.... when I was in high school I took four years of French. I remember we had an assignment to cook a French dish and report on it, and I made coq au vin. I thought it was so cool I got to go to the liquor store with my mom to pick out the wine. The dish came out really good. 🤤

I have a really awesome blog post in the works for next week, but in keeping with our upcoming Secret Author contest, my lips are sealed You'll have to tune in next week to see what it is. In the meantime, here are the guidelines for the SA contest and the annual anthology. Which one will you participate in? Don't answer that... letting us know you are writing a story for the SA contest will get you disqualified so You can tell us if you are writing for the Creature Feature anthology, though. And there's no need to choose just one. We space out the due dates so authors have plenty of time to participate in both. I have a few ideas for Creature Feature, so my goal is to have at least one story for it.

It's also national otter day, but since I promised LBO I'd post on her behalf, I'm taking the shiny for her 😁

Two weeks ago, I asked prompt blog readers to create a story starting at the end and working to the beginning. @Bill W got us off to an interesting start - uh, end? Followed by @ReaderPaul and myself. I took some liberties with the order and added in the beginning of the story. I hope you enjoy the result! Thank you to Bill and ReaderPaul for the interesting premise, and without further adieu, here is the final result!

German has to take it a step further and add in a bunch of cases which changes everything. Who knew there were so many versions of "the"? Learning is definitely the biggest thing. So many people now don't really care about grammar, spelling, etc. As someone who loves language (and went into a language-based field) it makes me very sad. But anyway, that's a bit off topic. Semicolon.

I got a 9/10 too, but it was a dumb mistake on my part I do use semicolons on a regular basis, mainly to join two related independent clauses together. I agree with the article's observation about its decline. It's not just in the UK, but in the US as well. I also think it's because the majority of people don't know how to use them properly, although in your case, you obviously do since you got 9/10 😁

My doctor has been trying to get me on statins for years, but I refuse to go on them.

It's good that you're getting some answers. Feel free to PM me. I've gone through a lot of what you are right now. I won't even get started on the whole "losing weight will help" BS.
-
I'm there! 😁
