They’re replacing some of the water pipes around where I
live. Directly around.

Language Of Confusion: Extreme Junction, Part II
This week we’re looking at more
words that come from the Proto
Indo European yeug-, to join, which shows up in so many words having to do with a joining, especially
if they have a J in them.

May Goals
1. Keep searching for beta readers for my book. It’s almost like people have lives outside of me or something.
Still working on this. Like I said, wildly unsuccessful.
I did this. I’m sure it’s not any good, but I got around 40K.
Did you see they’ve screwed with commenting? Now I’ve got that to deal with, and heaven forbid they just fix post formatting! I WANT TO ADJUST PARAGRAPH SPACING DAMMIT! Without that stupid "Normal-Paragraph-Heading-Subheading" crap. And Also without it crashing on me!!! I used to be able to just paste my etymology list in from Excel and it was perfect, but nope, they had to wreck that. I have to copy it in from a Word file and because it’s a Word file, it screws up the formatting, but what else am I supposed to do when I have well over a thousand words that I’m not typing in and spacing one by one???
1. More beta reads. Still need more people.

It also doesn’t make a clicking noise when it’s running, so that’s a win.

Seriously, putting up the fan was fine, but the frigging pull chain is totally impossible.

On the packaging was the word “misshipped”. Which… isn’t really a word, but not the issue here.

April Goals
1. Get some feedback on my new WIP. It’s a contemporary mystery about the murder of a girl. It’s character driven and very different from what I usually write, so if anyone anywhere would like to look at it and give me some guidance, I’d really appreciate it.
Hey, I did this! Of course, this was less dependent on me than on who I could
This would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
I did finish the short story I was working on. And immediately decided to work on a new book because of course I did.
1. Keep searching for beta readers for my book. It’s almost like people have lives outside of me or something.
