So I didn't finish NaNoWriMo :-(
I got into a reading challenge, and by golly, I'm going to do even better this month. Even with Christmas and all. We were just 50 point short of winning!
And here's December list of "things I've learned"
mendacious - not telling the truth; lying
(The Grand Tour; Or, The Purloined Coronation Regalia)
vie, vied, vying.
to strive in competition or rivalry with another; contend for superiority
(The Golden Tulip)
mollify - appease the anger or anxiety of (someone).
contrite - feeling or expressing remorse at the recognition that one has done wrong.
(The Haunting of Hill House)
attenuated - having been reduced in force, effect, or value.
(Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius)
"Another stone used for early querns and picturesquely known as "pudding stone" is a conglomerate which derives its name from the rounded bits of quartzose rock, white and red, embedded like plums in the surrounding mass of finer silicious particles which form the main body of the "pudding".
