Yeah, I was thinking of "faint and foggy"-type words and it came to mind, but it is more for something going out of focus rather than coming into focus...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505032135429162677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452387984510615881.post-77649983058079788572014-11-06T15:56:44.281-06:002014-11-06T15:56:44.281-06:00That's true.

Just some advice. :)A.L.S.

I didn't mean for you to get this big!!" <br /><br />As far as your use of evanescently, you're not quite on the mark. Remember that evanescent is synonymous with transient or evaporating. (You can remember this by noting that evaporate and evanescent start with the same three letters.) I hope your outline is not evaporating! (Though I have had that happen. Hmm...let's see, do I want this plot point? Nope!) A.L.S.

Luckily, I have two four-day weekends coming up, so those will grant me plenty of writing time. I've got to say, I have no idea whether my faintly (evanescently?) outlined plot will last me the whole month with enough words. I'm trying to devise ways to slow it down without actually slowing the action.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505032135429162677noreply@blogger.com
