Eh? What?<br/>At a guess, this is code for ‘do you follow trends or forge your own path?’ If so, the latter.<br/>Personally , I’ve never owned a caravan, been more of a tent guy—but I know a lot of people who see caravans as the embodiment of freedom. You might need to rethink the metaphor.<br/>#books #writing #writersofmastodon 2026-01-20T07:34:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqst30aucuumfxnd6jnv8j4elp8jer4ferr989gltczwt4r65ndyvkczyr7frf0rk6xm6uvx95dh376etxswha4w75q0uktx5sl9uk9pxhnjc6h9rkj #WordWeavers 9/1: Have you invented any words/sayings/swears etc. for your story?<br/>I have lots of invented names for people and places, but only a few new words. In fact many are repurposed or adapted, like ‘harsh’ as a verb. But I think I invented ‘fudgeon’ for a person who does something dumb. And I’m going to use ‘shog off’, which sounds made up but is actually in Shakespeare (Henry V). Of course Will S was the master at introducing new words to the language.<br/>#books #writing #writersofmastodon 2026-01-09T07:46:39Z
