Did you know this fun historical fact about poetry?
I love history, so I search out things like this. This information is copied from Google search: The longest poem in the world is the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. Containing roughly 1.8 million words and 200,000 verses, it is about ten times longer than the Iliad and the Odyssey combined. It was written over centuries and remains a monumental feat of storytelling. Chime in if you already knew. I didn't.

Who here has fun with words?
Have you ever had so much fun with words that you've made up one or two, or more? I like to refer to banannas as banaynays. What is your favorite made up or misconzounsed word?

We’ve kept a few weird pronunciations from when my kids were little. Other than that, we have a few words that we intentionally mispronounce based on the spelling. Eg tired = ti-red. Banana is one of them, just by stressing the first instead of second syllable. Stuff like that…

I blogged when I did NaNoWriMo one time. It was kinda crazy but fun to do the NaNoWriMo word count AND blog about it at the same time, but I did it πŸ˜‚ I'm currently writing blog articles for a client, which I've done in the past too. But they're about construction, so not too gripping for those outside the industry.

@Zane Dowling I ran it for the month of NaNoWriMo, plus a little while afterwards, as I decided what to do with the manuscript. (I ditched it after that first draft, deciding not to revise it.)
