"O" what a bad Alex I've been

No blogging yesterday, and no excuse. I'll only say that my back went out Monday evening and I'm only just feeling human again. "Only" starts with "O." I'm also going great guns with the new story idea, which has me quite, if cautiously, hopeful. It's growing in shape, the names are solidifying, the arc may or may not be coming into form.

For today, however, "O":

only
oddly
ogle
opportunity
option
opine
opinion
oligarchy
olive
old
Osso Buco
oak
oar
order
oaf
oats (! ... as in "sow your wild...")
oafish
ore
original
originate
origin (being the source of the preceding words...)
obstruct
occlude
occupation
od...
.... and as I'm writing these words, thinking through my "O's", I have this sense of deja vu. So I pause, and I check the roster of posts, and lo (rhymes with "O"), I did "O" on Monday.

Today is supposed to be "P". I'm not sure I'm going to do "P" today. It might wait for Thursday, given the joy Nate and Juliet are offering me right now. Perhaps I'll make start the story's next sentence with a word that starts with "P"? Keep posted!
