Commonly confused words



Choose and chose

The words choose and chose are very commonly mixed up. This is because not only do they look and sound similar, but their meanings are also very closely related, so close that they are different tenses of the same verb.

Choose is the present tense. It means to pick or decide, usually between two or more things or people.

Chose is the past tense. It means to have picked or decided, usually between two or more things or people.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to think of my own rule, or find a good rule by anybody else, that would help you to remember which to use in a sentence, but if I do I will update this post

Announcement

Return of my writing journal

For the next five weeks, I am afraid the only writing journal posts I will have for you will be,

  • An hours log
  • A pages log
  • A dictionary corner post
  • A commonly confused words post
  • Alternative words posts

I apologise for this, but I wont be writing my plan for December until next week – Week starting Monday 5th December 2022. Though I am behind on this months planning, I am actually getting back into things quicker that I thought, and un until now have just been going with the flow, while juggling- my Sunday autobiographical posts, my origami videos and my cross stitching. Honestly, I did not even think my writing journal would be back so soon. Even though I’m sorry the first few weeks won’t be fully what you are used to, hopefully after that the Wednesday posts will be better than ever.

Love,

Pix

Commonly Confused Words

Plain and Plane

The words plain and plane are homophones. This means that they sound the same, but have different meanings.

Though both can be used to describe flat surfaces, they still don’t mean exactly the same thing when used in this way, as plain is used to describe geography, and plane is used to describe geometry.

This is the most common usage for the word plane. However it can also be used to mean glide.

The most common use of the word plain, is to be common, obvious, simple, or uncomplicated.

Rules to remember which to use in a sentence

I really struggled to find an overall rule for these words, and actually could only find one rule at all, so unfortunately, I have had to think of different rules for the different uses.

1. If you’re describing gliding, it’s plane you should use, as in aeroplane which also ends in the word plane.

2. If you’re trying to describe, or are referring to, a flat surface, and you don’t know which to use, think of this rhyme-

The train, rides across the plain.

Ask yourself – can the train, ride across the plain?

Or rather-

Is it land?

If the answer is yes it’s land, it’s plain you should use, which ends in the letters ain, as does the word plain.

If the answer is no, it’s not land, it’s plane you should use.

3. Otherwise (meaning, you are not describing gliding or a flat surface) it’s likely plain you should use. Unless you are referring to a level of existence, development or thought.

Writing Journal

Monday, 18 April 2022

On Monday morning, I can’t sleep so I try to write.

I complete 2 hours 40 minutes of emotional rambling, then comment that I think I might be having an episode, and I can’t believe I even managed to do what I have done, as I am completely out of it on both Co-Codamol – because of my messed up shoulder back and side, and antipsychotics. Also, my eyes hurt so bad I couldn’t see properly.

However, when I still can’t sleep, I do another 2 hours and 50 minutes of writing.

5 hours 30 minutes total writing.

Commonly Confused Words

Their, there, and they’re are commonly confused words, because they are homophones, which means that they are words that sound the same but mean different things.

The word their is a determiner, which is used to show belonging.

There, is an adverb, and is most commonly used to show location.

Whereas, they’re is a contraction of the words they are.

Rules

If you are struggling to remember which of these words is correct to use in a sentence, you can ask yourself three questions –

1. if I change the sentence in order to use a pronoun such as her or his instead, would the sentence still make sense?

If the answer is yes, then their is correct.

2. Am I discussing, or referring to, location?

If the answer is yes there is correct, which is a word that ends with another location word- here.

3.If I changed the word to they are, would the sentence still make sense?

If the answer is yes, they’re is correct.

Commonly Confused Words

Accept and Except

The words accept and except, though they sound very similar, actually sort of mean opposite things.

The word accept means to receive or acknowledge.

Where as the word except means to exclude or disagree with.

Example

I cannot accept, that you invited everybody, except me.

A good way to remember which is correct to use in a sentence, is to ask yourself, could you replace the word accept/except within the word excluding, excluded, exclude.

If the answer is yes, the correct word to use it except, which also begins with an EX.

Writing Journal

Monday, 21st March 2022

Monday is an extreme waste of 2 hours 30 minutes of research for my running blog, as I am unable to focus, meaning that the research was disorganised and therefore pointless.

Tuesday, 22nd March 2022

On Tuesday, I work on my blog for 4 hours 34 minutes. I don’t make any notes as to what I work on, but seeing as yesterday I was attempting to do research for my running guide, I imagine it was that I worked on.

Wednesday, 23rd March 2022

Today I do 4 hours 35 minutes writing, I finish my running guide for Friday.

Thursday, 24th March 2022

3 hours of writing done.

Friday, 25th March 2022

While unable to sleep on Friday morning, I do 2 hours 34 minutes of writing.

At some point, I do another hour, but I don’t record when.

I finish Sundays autobiographical blog post.

Saturday, 26th March 2022

2 hours of writing done.

Sunday 27th of March 2022

As I have no notes for Sunday, I assume that I did no writing, but I don’t know why.

Commonly Confused Words

Advice and Advise

The word advice is a noun, which means,

-An opinion

-Guidance

-Recommendations

-information

Given in regards to future action.

The word advice, is a verb, which means the act of,

-Giving

-Taking

Advice.

Theses two words should not be used interchangeably.

As I could not find, or think of, a good method of remembering whether advice or advise is the correct word to use in a sentence, I will leave you with the best method I found which is –

“Take the ice.”

Advice, is a noun, which ends in the noun ice.

Ice, is a thing.

If you’re talking about, or referring to, the actual information being given, or received, that too is a thing, so use advice.

If you are talking about, or referring to, the action of giving or receiving information, as in “take,” it’s advise, that you should use.

Monthly Writing Overview

Weeks 5 to 8

2022 started out as a complete disaster when it came to note taking, so I decided, as you have probably noticed, to strip it back to the bare minimum, then start to build it back up.

This means that at this point, the only thing that I was consistently achieving (if you don’t count forgetting to start my timer) is taking notes of how long I wrote for.

I failed on everything else, including my goal of writing for three hours a day, five days a week.

Week 1

31st March 22

Done 18 hours 27 minutes

Week 2

7th February 2022

Done 7 hours 45 minutes

Week 3

14th February 2022

Done 19 hours 11 minutes

Week 4

21st February 2022

Done 14 hours 10 minutes

Total hours done -59 hours 33 minutes

Owed -27 minutes

Commonly Confused Words

Have and Of

The reason that the words have an of are commonly confused, is because the word of sounds like the contracted version of the word have, which is ‘ve

For example,

-Should of

-Could of

-Would of

-May of

-Might of

-Must of

Are all incorrect use of the word of.

It should actually be,

Should’ve – meaning should have

Would’ve – meaning would have

Could’ve – meaning could have

Might’ve – meaning might have

May’ve – meaning may have

Must’ve – meaning must have

Try to remember that it is never correct to say,

should of

Would of

Could of

May of

Might of

Must of

However this is not an exhaustive list of all the incorrect uses of the word of, which is why I have tried to come up with a rule to help you if you are stuck.

The simplest way I can personally think of to remember this rule is to ask yourself, if you, or the person you’re referring to, had, or did, do the thing you are referring to, would you have said I’ve or they’ve, meaning I have or they have?

If so then you should be using the word have not the word of.

Commonly Confused Words

Fewer and Less

Both the words fewer and less are adjectives, determiners, and pronouns, however the word less is also an adverb and a preposition.

Because the meanings of the words fewer and less are similar in the respect that they inform us that someone, or something, et cetera, is smaller or lower than another or others, they are commonly used interchangeably incorrectly.

The word fewer should be used when you are referring to an amount, and the word less when you are referring to a measurement.

A good way to get this right is to use the word fewer when you can count what is being referred to…

For example

There were fewer people at tonight’s meeting, than at last night’s meeting.

There were fewer apples on today’s delivery, than there were on yesterday’s delivery.

… And to use the word less when you can’t count what is being referred to.

For example

The speaker at tonight’s meeting was less successful at holding the attention of the audience, than the speaker at last night’s meeting was.

This check out is for ten items or less.

Commonly Confused Words

Enquire and Inquire

The words enquire and inquire actually mean exactly the same thing – to ask for information from somebody, to ask to see or speak to somebody, to look into or investigate – and can be used interchangeably.

Traditionally the word enquire meant to informally ask, whereas enquire was meant formally – for example during an investigation. Today the word inquire is still usually used to mean the formal requesting of information, but not strictly.

If you want to stick to the formal and informal use of the words, but don’t know which version to use, ask yourself is the request being asked formally or informally, meaning is it a simple request or an official request in regards to an investigation.

If the answer is that it is in regards to an official investigation, you should also use the version of the word beginning with an I – Inquiry.

Therefore if it is informal, you want to use enquiry.

Unless, you are American, in which case, apparently inquiry is always preferred, regardless of formality.

Monday 14 February 2022

No writing done.

No notes as to why.

Tuesday 15 February 2022

On Tuesday I spent 4 hours, writing Wednesday’s post.

I’m still forgetting to set my timer when I start writing, or after breaks. This isn’t just frustrating because it means I don’t know how much writing I have done towards my daily, and weekly, goals, it’s frustrating because I am trying to keep track of how much time each post takes me, so I have a better idea of how much writing is actually required to complete my weekly writing goals.

Wednesday 16th February 2022

4 hours 9 minutes writing. Worked on Wednesday’s post.

Thursday 17th of February 2022

Time spent writing recorded, when I actually remembered to set my timer, is 1 hour 31 minutes. I worked on Fridays Post.

Friday 18th of February 2022

No writing done.

Saturday 19th February 2022

worked on Sunday blog post.

Sunday 20th of February 2022

Sundays notes are a mess, so I can’t say what I worked on, just that I wrote for 5 hours 31 minutes.

Commonly Confused Words…

Practice and Practise

The word practice is a noun, which means it is

-a name

-(or) a thing

The word practise is a verb, which means it is

-a doing word.

For example, art can be both a noun and a verb, just like the words practice and practise.

To speak about a piece of artwork is to use art as a noun.

However to talk about a person engaging in the practise of making art is to use it as a verb.

If you struggle to remember whether to use the word practice or practise in a sentence, ask yourself is it referring to a name, a thing, or an action.

If it’s referring to a name or a thing, practice is correct. A good way to remember this is that the word practice not only means a noun, it ends in a noun too – ice.

If it’s referring to an action, then the word practise is correct.

Writing Journal

Monday 7 February 2022

When I wake up on Monday, I update all my journal notes, where I promise to slay the day.

Then I only do 1 hour 28 minutes of writing, working on my pronation outtakes blog post.

Tuesday, 8 February 2022

On Monday night/Tuesday morning I can’t sleep, as usual. I decide to be productive instead of frustratedly lying in bed trying to sleep and failing, but I don’t want to start anything that will prevent me from sleeping, so I sort out videos on my phone for the Saturday diary entries. I do this for 1 hour 28minutes.

And, I continue with it when I wake up, doing an additional 4 hours 25 minutes.

Wednesday, 9 February 2022

Wednesday is a bad day for writing, as I only do 38 minutes, during which time I work on a the first draft of a Sunday blog post.

However, it’s not as bad as Thursday 10th, Friday 11th, Saturday 12th, Sunday 13th, when although I had writing on my to do list, I crossed none of it out, or wrote any journal notes, meaning I can only assume that I did no writing on these days.

Commonly confused words…

Weather and whether

The word weather refers to the state of the atmosphere in a certain place, at a certain time, and includes everything from the temperature and wind conditions, to whether it’s sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowing, etc.

The word whether is a conjunction, which put as simply as possible, serves the same purpose as the word if.

If you’re struggling as to whether you need to use the word weather or whether in a sentence, ask yourself does the sentence still makes sense if you use the word if instead.

If the answer is yes, then whether is correct.

If the answer is no, then weather this is correct.

For example

I’ll see whether it is going to be snowing next week.

Still makes sense if you change the whether in the sentence to if.

I’ll see if it is going to be snowing next week.

Hours total for writing I need to do this week = 17 hours 11 minutes

Because I made up the 2 hours and 11 minutes that I owed from January this week, I don’t need to add it to marches hours.

Writing Journal

Monday 31st January 2022

On Monday, while I can’t sleep, during the early hours of the morning, I decide to do some writing.

I write for 1 hour 3 minutes, and work on my Wednesday posts.

Monday was the day that I was supposed to speak to the newspaper. They don’t call. Despite waiting all afternoon for a phone call that never happens, which still leaves me feeling extra unwell mentally, then needing to do other stuff, I do manage to fit in some writing.

I write for 2 hours 39 minutes, and work on Wednesdays blog post.

Tuesday 1st February 2022.

Though I don’t make a note of what I write on Tuesday, or how much of the 3 hours 9 minutes I spent working on each, it seems from my to do list that I worked on both Tuesday and Saturdays blog posts.

Wednesday 2nd February 2022

Wednesdays notes are strange, I have a list that simply says –

– wrote for two hours

– don’t remember

– planned Fridays blog post

-research was already done.

The, “I wrote for two hours,” is obvious. I believe the, “Research was already done,” means the research for Friday’s running guide was already done. This would make me believe that the post I planned was my running guide. However I have no idea what “I don’t remember,” means.

Thursday, the 3rd of February 2022

Either I made no entry for Thursday, or it’s missing, so I don’t know why I did no writing today, but regardless, I didn’t.

Friday, 4th February 2022

Friday is quite a good day for writing compared to the rest of this week, I work on a Sunday’s blog post for 4 hours 40 minutes.

Saturday, 5th February 2022

Saturday I continue to work on my Sunday post, however I do it in chunks, around other stuff I need to do. In total I spent 4 hours 22 minutes writing.

Sunday 6th February 2022

On Sunday I don’t journal, but I talk about Sunday when I journal the next day. I write – “It’s like I woke up yesterday and chose violence, because I killed it.”

Reflecting on my notes, I would say I was having a high episode, as although I did well on Sunday, I certainly didn’t kill it. I actually only wrote for 4 hours 34 minutes.

Monthly Writing Overview

Weeks 1 to 4

Welcome to my first monthly writing journal overview. These reviews are hopefully going to follow the same format as my running journals do eventually, which are also going to 4 weekly or monthly overviews.

I want to keep this one brief and to the point, especially because I didn’t try any tips during this month.

My plan going in was to write for 3 hours, 5 days a week. I failed on this goal, even with an additional 2 days in every way. I didn’t write for 3 hours a day, I didn’t do it over 5 days, and I also didn’t meet my monthly target for hours written. With the extra two days, I should have wrote for 66 hours, and I completed 63 hours 49 minutes.

As I am writing this on the 27th of February, I’m going to add the 2 hours 11 minutes I am down to my first week in March’s total.

Due to me still struggling to keep notes, even though I am trying to rectify this, I don’t know how many blog post I have wrote in this time, but I know I didn’t miss any posts, so that something I did adequately at least.

Commonly Confused Words…

Whose and Who’s

Whose is a determiner and a pronoun, it is used to identify who or what something belongs to.

Who’s is a contraction of the words who is, which means we make the two words one shorter and more informal word by bringing them together and replacing the i in is with an apostrophe.

If you can’t remember whether to use the word whose or who’s in a sentence, ask yourself would the sentence still make sense if you replaced the word whose/who’s with the words who is.

If the answer is yes, then who’s is correct.

If the answer is no, then whose is correct.

For example

Whose car is this? Makes sense.

But.

Who is car is this? Does not make sense.

Writing Journal

Monday 24th of January 2022

On Monday I have an opticians appointment that I wake up late for, so I get no writing done at all.

Planned writing done = 0

Extra writing done=0

(Owed = 4 hours 7 minutes)

Tuesday 25th of January 2022

Tuesday was a good day for writing, however my optimism level up might suggest I was having an “up episode”. I did 3 1/2 hours of writing during which time I worked on Fridays running guide, yet I talked about how things are getting better, and how great things would be if I could sleep and wake up at a normal time, even though nothing was any different than usual and today’s achievements weren’t exceptional.

Planned writing done = 3 hours

Extra writing done = 30 minutes

(Owed = 30 minutes)

Wednesday 26th of January 2022

On Wednesday I finish my final handwritten draft of my running guide, and write for 2 hours 40 minutes.

Planned writing done = 2 hours 40 minutes

Extra writing done = 0

(Owed= 1 hour 7 minutes)

Thursday, 27th of January 2022

The only notes that I make on Thursday are that I finished Friday’s running guide and fully wrote and dictated Charlie, although I didn’t say what part it was.

I assume from my to do list that I did 3 hours of writing, because I crossed that out, and didn’t note that I did any extra.

Planned writing done = 3 hours

Extra writing done = 0 hours

(Owed= 1 hour 7 minutes)

Completed = Running guide

Friday 28th of January 2022

On Friday I only do 1 hour five minutes of writing, but I don’t say why. During this time I complete my post titled Charlie.

Planned writing done = 1 hour 5 minutes

Extra writing done = 0

(Owed = 3 hours 12 minutes)

Completed Charlie

Saturday 29th of January 2022

I have no notes for Saturday so I know I did no writing, but I don’t know why.

Planned writing done = 0

Extra writing done = 0

(Owed= 6 hours 12 minutes)

Sunday 30th of January 2022

Today I only note that I did 1 hour 15 minutes of writing, yet I achieved an awful lot so I suspect I did more and just didn’t note it down. I really need to get better at taking notes, and start journalling every day like I promised I would.

Planned writing done = 1 hour 15 minutes

Extra done = 0

Trigger warning

Please be aware that today’s post references suicidal thoughts. If you are struggling with your own suicidal thoughts, or you do not feel able to deal with the subject matter right now, maybe skip this entry.

Monday, the 17th of January 2022

On Monday I wake up even later than I usually would, and am immediately suicidal over it. As I have more urgent things to do than write, I prioritise those thing, then I go for a run, after which I’m feeling slightly better, and decide to take the day off writing and make up the hours throughout the week.

Planned writing complete = 0

Extra writing complete = 0

(Owed = 4 hours 7 minutes)

Tuesday, the 18th of January 2022

Today is good day for writing, not only do I complete the 3 hours planned, I also complete an additional 2 which makes up for the 1 hour 7 minutes I still owe from last week, and part of what I owe from Monday.

During this time, I continue my research into running shoes, and began writing my first guide about them.

Planned writing completed = 3 hours

Extra writing completed = 2 hours

(Owed = 2 hours 7 minutes)

Wednesday, the 19th of January 2022

On Wednesday I work on my rough draft of my first running shoe guide for 3 hours.

Planned writing completed = 3 hours

Extra writing completed = 0

(Owed = 2 hours 7 minutes)

Thursday, the 20th of January 2022

Thursday is another great day for writing, I complete my 3 planned hours, plus 2 hours 20 minutes, which means I am caught up to where I should be at, and am even a little bit over.

Today I finish a running and schedule, and plan some other post.

By the end of the 5 hours 20 minutes I’m physically and mentally destroyed.

planned writing completed = 3 hours

Extra writing completed = 2 hours 20 minutes

(Owed =0)

(Over = 13 minutes)

Friday, the 21st of January 2022

Friday is a terrible writing day. Due to a combination of waking up late, and my neighbours, I get no writing done, which means I am now behind for the week again.

Planned writing completed= 0

Extra writing completed = 0

(Owed =47 minutes)

Saturday, the 22nd of January 2022

On Saturday I not only write for 3 hours 25 minutes, during which time I work on my post titled Charlie, I also start uploading photographs and videos to restart my Saturday blog. However, I don’t time this and I should have, as it consumes my entire night, yet I make hardly any progress because of my phone signal.

Planned writing completed= 3 hours

Extra writing completed = 25 minutes + unknown

(Owed = 0)

(Over= 22 minutes + unknown)

Sunday, the 23rd of January 2022

On Sunday I spent the day once again trying to upload videos and photographs, but neither timed how long I worked on this, nor noted the progress I made, which isn’t much.

Writing Journal

Monday, the 10th of January 2022

On Monday I’m supposed to get 3 hours of writing done, but because I need to go to the supermarket and pay bills I got nothing done. This is the problem with waking up late every day, and it’s depressing and infuriating and I have no control over it whatsoever.

Tuesday, the 11th of January 2022

The only notes I have for Tuesday say I wanted to do 3 hours 25 minutes of writing to make up the missing time from last week, but I only managed to do 3 hours. In this time I finished 2 Sunday blog post, but I don’t say what ones, or even if they were for the same or different weeks. I really am trying my hardest to journal and keep notes, but I find it so difficult for some reason.

Wednesday, the 12th of January 2022

Today I have to go to the hairdressers, so I only manage to get 1 hour and 40 minutes of writing done, during which I work on my phase 3 running overview.

Thursday, the 13th of January 2022

Thursday is a much better day, both for getting my writing done and for keeping notes about what I achieved.

I do

– 3 hours for Thursday

-25 minutes for last week

-the 1hour 20 minutes that I owed from yesterday

-As well as an additional 25 minutes

During this time I work on my phase 3 running overview, and the mileage details to go with it.

Friday, the 14th of January 2022

Due to the fact my hairdresser cut my fringe wrong and I tried to fix it myself (it was in my eyes and I couldn’t see, and it was hurting them) I get nothing done today, as I went into town to get it fixed.

Saturday the 15th of January 2022

There are no notes for Saturday, so I assume I did no writing, but I have no idea why.

Sunday, the 16th of January 2022

Sundays note simply say

-4 hours 3 minutes

-Research

-Still behind 2 hours

Categories
Writing

Words you can use instead of the word…

Your

Though there are different situations when the word your can be swapped with other words, there actually aren’t any almost directly interchangeable words for it.

Categories
Writing

Definition of the word…

You’re

The word you’re is a contraction of the words you are.

This means that you’re is a shorter and/or informal way of saying you are.

We make the two words you are, a single word, by bringing them together, and replacing the letter a with an apostrophe.

Example

“You are beautiful.”

Becomes

“You’re beautiful.”

Categories
Writing

The definition of the word…

Your

The word your is a determiner or possessive, but it can also be used when addressing holders of certain titles.

As a determiner or possessive you can use it in two ways.

The first is when referring to something that belongs to or is associated with the person or the people the speaker is addressing.

Example

“I am sorry I broke your heart.”


The second is when referring to something belonging to, or something associated with, any person in general.

Example

“It’s enough to break your heart.”


When using your to address a title holder, it comes before that persons title.

Example

“Your Majesty.”

Categories
Writing

The difference between the words…

Your and You’re

Your

Your is a determiner or possessive, this means it is used to indicate that something, be it – an object, idea, name, et cetera, belongs to a person or a group of people.

Example

“Your coat is on the hook.”

You’re

You’re is a contraction of the word you are. This just means that it is a shorter and/or informal way of saying you are.

Example

“You are beautiful.”

Would become

“You’re beautiful.”


If you are struggling to figure out or remember whether your or you’re is correct in a sentence, ask yourself if you replace it with you are will the sentence still make sense. If it does, then you’re is correct. If it doesn’t, then your is correct.

Example

“You’re beautiful.”– Makes sense.

As does – “You are beautiful.”

Whereas

“Is that your coat?”-Makes sense.

But

“Is that you are coat?” – Does not make sense.

Writing Journal

Monday, the 3rd of January 2022

Due to how busy I have been all day – I not only had to go to the supermarket, I went into the city centre to buy new running shorts and then went for a run – I have done no writing at all.

At 11pm I decided I am going to do 3 hours of writing now, as I can’t sleep, but only end up managing 1, as I am too tired. I do a plan and half a draft of writing, but I don’t make a note of what it is that I actually write.

Target done = 1 hour of writing

Extra done = 0

hours of writing

[Hours of writing owed = 2 hours of writing]

Tuesday, the 4th of January 2020

Today I manage a block of 1 hour 15 minutes writing before I need to stop for a break.

When I get back, I decide to do another 2 hours 10 minutes. It takes me 1 hour 40 minutes to finish the first draft of -remember to burn your bridges (I don’t record if this is part 1, 2 or both).

Then with the remaining half an hour I dictate- part six of the devil cares more about cars than Prada, and do a first edit on roughly half of it.

Target done = 3 hours of writing

Extra done = 1 hour of writing

hours of writing

[Hours of writing owed = 1 hour of writing]

Wednesday, the 5th of January 2022

Today I write for 2 hours – because I don’t update my journal until Sunday, I have no idea what I actually wrote.

Target done = 2 hours of writing

Extra done = 0

hours of writing

[Hours of writing owed = 2 hours of writing]

Thursday, the 6th of January 2022

On Thursday what should be a quick clean of my flat turns into a massive job, so I do no writing.

Target done = 0

Extra done = 0

hours of writing

[Hours of writing owed = 5 hours of writing]

Friday, the 7th of January 2020

On Friday I have an episode in the supermarket, which is followed by my neighbours being antisocial, so again I get no writing done.

Target done = 0

Extra done = 0

hours of writing

[Hours of writing owed = 8 hours of writing]

Saturday, the 8th of January 2022

I do 3 hours 15 minutes of writing.

Again, I don’t know what I wrote.

Target done = 3 hours of writing

Extra done = 15 minutes

hours of writing

[Hours of writing owed = 5 hours and 24 minutes of writing]

Sunday 9th of January 2022

Today I do 4 hours 35 minutes of writing.

Target done = 4 hour of writing

Extra done = 1 hour and 35 minutes

What is the difference between the words..

Although and Though

The words although and though are both conjunctions, and can be used interchangeably for this purpose.

However, the word though is also an adverb, and the word although should not be used instead of it in this way.

If you’re ever in doubt of which you should use, go with though as it can never be wrong, whereas although can.

Announcement

The start of my writing journal

And

Writing tips

Hi guys,

I have been saying I am going to start a writing journal, similar to my running journal, as well as my own writing tips, for a while now.

Well, I have finally started.

My journal will follow a similar set up to my running journal, there will be plans, a journal, a schedule, and overviews. Hopefully in the future there will also be guides, but for now I’m starting small.

My tips will for now be

-Words to use instead off

+A definition of that word

-Words that are commonly confused words

+The definition of those words

+Words to use instead of those words.

Again in the future I’m hoping to expand on this.

I hope to see you all on Wednesdays at 9 pm my time. AGAIN!

Love y’all
