The Imprecise History of Drizzle Hello, Having just returned from running a weekend writing retreat, I was disappointed to find yet more drizzle on my daily walk today. So here, for your encouragement through a damp Februrary (fol…

Another damp Monday here, so I decided to share the imprecise history of drizzle on the blog today. wordfoolery.wordpress.com/2026/02/23/t... Also - news of my upcoming female words for Women's History Month, starting on the 1st of March. #etymology #amblogging #weather

a shelf full of books including one that says ' i love you ' ALT: a shelf full of books including one that says ' i love you '

This week's word from the dusty Wordfoolery archives is abibliophobia - one for the readers amongst us. I also chatted about the challenges of NaNoWriMo that year (2015) when I was writing a historic fiction novel.

The Biting History of Canapés Hello, It’s not too often that writing this blog causes me to run to the kitchen rather than the dictionaries, but this time I had to hastily compose a canapé for illustration purposes. I may…

This week on the Wordfoolery blog I delve into the history of canapé, a word the French gave us, with help from Ancient Greece, sofas, curtains, and mosquitos. Read all about it at wordfoolery.wordpress.com/2026/02/09/t...

The Gold Rush Word History of Hooch Hello, If the long dark days of January have driven you to the booze, perhaps it’s time to consider the roots of hooch, bootleg, and moonshine with a little help from Susie Dent’s excellent book “W…

This week's word on the blog is hooch (with a side of moonshine and bootlegging) - some words the Gold Rush gave us. Read more at wordfoolery.wordpress.com/2026/01/26/t... #etymology #amblogging

The New Year Approaches… …and with it a chance to feel as though some boundary in space and time has passed wherein we can believe, if only for the first week of January, that everything that came before has no beari…

I started a blog! Kinda just a bit of randomness right now, but for now it'll mostly be about writing, crafting, and school. I hope it's enjoyable to more than just me!

Monthly goals check-in: August, September, and October It's a busy season! These are mostly things that refill my cup, so I remind myself that it's okay . . . I'll sleep later, you know?

I finally sat down and wrote a longer update, since I hadn't done one since August (oops). I'm still finding joyful activities that refill my cup, and promising myself that I'll sleep later. #amblogging #amgardening #travel #inspiration

Tonight I took a quick and overdue count and it turns out I’ve passed my goal of posting 36 new blog posts in 2025 (not counting the 51 posts to wrap up my third novel).

I wrote a thing on my blog about my experience with iOS 26 on my iPhone SE.

Must blog more.

The Swooping History of Aliferous Hello, I’ve no record of where I found this week’s word, aliferous. I scrolled at random in my (exceedingly long) word list and it popped out, seeking a story. Aliferous means having wi…

This week's word on Wordfoolery is aliferous - one which the Romans gave us but which links to dozens of other languages too. wordfoolery.wordpress.com/2025/09/22/t... #etymology #amblogging

Blog Okay, it get it, it's been a while. I'm not going to apologise; I warned you a long time ago that prolific blogging isn't one of my strong points. Hell, I'm not even anywhere near as fast a writer as....

I did a thing. #AmBlogging

Finally, a new blog post. Something I needed to get out of my system.

Some of you might agree, some of you might hate me, I don't care.

Next time I'll make it about writing, I promise.

I was distracted, watching AOT, so just sharing this now, but I did write something up for #blaugust2025 D2. Mostly, I go over the #blaugust achievements and a little something I made to make it more fun for me ^^ #amblogging #blogpostshare #aniblogger

Masterpost: Attempting Blaugust 2025 I…can’t believe it?! It’s already another August, which means that this is the 3rd year I’ve known about the existence of Blaugust?! Ok, I’m just kidding. I am surpris…

My first post for #blaugust2025 is up! Since "week" one of #blaugust is dedicated to talking about the event, I've kept things simple and just talked about some things to expect from me this month #blogpostshare #amblogging #aniblogger

A white concrete bridge crosses a river somewhere secret in Japan.

Realised I hadn't updated my blog in a few weeks. Pushed a bunch of stuff through including:

A bridge that takes water across a valley;

Houses reflected in paddy fields; and

Motomachi's liminal passage
