Just Be There Blog

inconsistant day

I went to bed very late--sometime around 1:30pm MT/3:30pm ET so of course, it follows that I got up late.

I have been on the computer, but not on writing.com. Rather I have been surfing some of the Women's Literary Magazine sites shared yesterday on the community bulletin by Joy

I also researched some rarely used vocabulary words, words that might be commonly spoken in a fantasy world--both elite jargon for the 'High falluten' and some gutter slang used by the common surf.

words like 'barm' (bahrm): beer foam
and
'dobbin' (DAH-bin): working farm horse

or 'accubation' (AK-yoo-BAY-shin): the act or the practice of reclining on a couch, as practiced by the ancients at meals. (The pretty slave feeding grapes to the reclining Roman senator is accubation)

The painted and feathered dratchell took young Perci's arm and, with what she meant as an alluring smile, tried to entice him into Doxy's; an infamous house near the Skaptinhausen docks.

It was fun.
