Christiina Dodd goes back on topic! But not about Bigfoot …
I'm finishing a book right now and what happens is, I pour out so many words on the page I'm no longer able to vocalize. Enough writers have this that it has a name -- Writer's Ephasia. (Hope I spelled that right!)
For instance, when I'm cooking dinner and my kids are helping, I'll say, "Get the thingie out of the thingie." And the sad part? They get the right thingie out of thingie. They get the grater or the collander (hope I spelled that right, too) or the syrup. Whatever. THEY KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
Poor kids.
BTW, the spelling fails, too.
