The List Thus Far

As of Right Now, this is the list for requested pronunciations. I admit to being a little baffled by some of the requests. I mean, honestly, folks — there are thousands of people named Priscilla and Inas living in the world today, hundreds named Miri, and Theo isn’t exactly unknown. Delacroix y Mendoza? Real-world, right-now names, possibly rare in combination, but I’m not willing to bet on that. And Waitley is a proud tribe.

Beyond that, I believe that a few of the words requested are misspelled. I may be wrong, but I’d appreciate a recheck and a cite. I’ve marked the questionable entries with a line of ?s.

Too quick on the trigger finger

Don’t try to say you’re sorry; don’t say he drew his gun

So far today, I’ve collated a Really Big List of Words; kept an appointment for an annual examination; dropped the everyday crescent necklace off at Day’s Jewelers to have the magnets re-attached (again! it’s just barely possible that the magnets are too strong for the chain); hit the gym for half-an-hour of gentle exercise and while there made an appointment with a trainer for Friday mid-morning for evaluation and a training routine; posted a splinter that didn’t make it into Ghost Ship, had lunch with Steve, finished the laundry, and now! I’m going to get with George.

My g0odness, you can get a let of useful stuff done when you don’t have a day-job!

Nobody right till somebody wrong; nobody weak till somebody strong

I’ll do another compile of the Big List of Words tomorrow morning. I’m thinking we’re going to have to break the pronunciation project down into manageable chunks. Will need to think about this.

In the meantime, I am pleased to announce that at (long, long) last, George has broken 50 grand. We have half a book, ladies and gentlemen!

. . .but still no title.

Well. It’s not the longest time a book has gone without a title. Agent of Change got its title when I sat down to type the submission draft. And several books have had perfectly good titles that morphed during the writing process — the working title for Scout’s Progress was Mouse and Dragon, after all. Which was a Perfectly Fine Title (obviously), but just a little…off for that book. Happily, a Flash of Brilliance(tm) occurred.

…will wait for Flash of Brilliance(tm).

And write another 50,000 words in a line.

“I see it!” he said, looking to Udari. “Brother, I see what your eyes saw! Even a man of action might admire the tiny cock, fire in his eye and one wing trailing.” He slapped his thighs again.
