STATS: October and November all at once! ;-)

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

I know I'm behind on this, so you're getting October and November stats at once! I definitely wnated to get them both up before the month ended, so we can see what we need for December! There are some members who haven't updated for a while, so now's good if you want to bring us up to date - you can always change Dec figures again before the 31st!

And for those who maybe don't see this, I will send out a reminder for all members via PM after Christmas so anyone who missed the reminders can add in any last counts that they want to make sure we see!


Keep scrolling!





( Under here to see all of the months' progress as we go along! )

HUGE thanks to those who contribute faithfully every month, and to those who have added ANY words this year - you are our backbone, and we love you for it!

If you missed working on something in November, it's not too late to jump in for our final month of 2023! And we're in our 'Holiday' challenges mode with both Swap of Joy (SoJ) and Advent well under way - well, Advent's already posting daily through December up to the 24th, and then SoJ takes over on the 24th! If you are contributing to either of these two, THANK YOU! If not, K's getting prepped for something else to inspire before the year ends, but that's not to say you can't work on ANY OTHER THING you want. Do scroll back through the comm for unused prompts or find your own and get working, if you can!

Let's be creative out there! ;-)

Word of the Day 12/14/23 Jacal

[simplyn2deep.livejournal.com]

Jacal (noun)
jacal [ huh-kahl, hah- ]

noun, plural ja·ca·les [huh-kah-leys, -leyz, hah-], ja·cals.
1. (in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico) a hut with a thatched roof and walls consisting of thin stakes driven into the ground close together and plastered with mud.

ORIGIN: 1830–40, Americanism; < Mexican Spanish < Nahuatl xahcalli

HOW TO USE JACAL IN A SENTENCE
The other is the jacal, which is nearly 9600 feet above the sea-level, and crowned with forests of pine and cedar.

Ten minutes later all slept, or seemed to sleep, in the jacal: the storm lasted the night through, howling furiously.

Only a few minutes after the hacendero's son had left, the door of the jacal was roughly opened—four men entered.

Valentine said, when about a dozen yards from the jacal, "Everything is very silent here."
THE TRAPPER'S DAUGHTER | GUSTAVE AIMARD

The preparations for quitting the jacal were not long, and an hour later, the five persons started.

Now YOU come up with a sentence (or fic? or graphic?) that best illustrates the word.

Daily count to Backrose_17

[skargasm.livejournal.com]

I wiped out hard after seeing the family for Christmas yesterday and was barely coherent today.

I have done some reading in preparation for a review but no words from me.

Passing the challenge to backrose_17 and hoping your December is going well.
