Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

G-

by Chautona Havig · 3 Comments

Gee!  That’s a funny letter!  I got to wondering (yes, I said “got” for a reason there) about what fun words start with G and how many of them I use in writing.  So, here we go, eh?

  • Giblets (self-explanatory)
  • Gizzard (inspired by giblets of course)
  • Guts (ok, is there a trend going here or what?)
  • Grotesque (definitely a trend)
  • Grace (I’ve never been good at staying with trends)
  • Gallop (great fun and good exercise unless paired with consumption.)
  • Gripe (about galloping graceless grotesque giblets, gizzards, and guts)
  • Grippe (la post-nasal drip.  With the wheezing, and the sneezing– name that movie!)
  • Grapple (do you grapple with griping about the grippe?)
  • Gesture (not to be confused with jester, however jesters do gesture…)
  • Grievous (don’t tell me this blog post fits in that one.  You’ll break my heart)
  • Gargantuan (don’t say it.  Do. Not. Say. It.)
  • Griswold (I think I have a character with that as a last name.  If not, I will.  Soon.
  • Gloaming (I now feel like singing about heather and hills)
  • Gabble (wait, it should be up there, shouldn’t it?)
  • Gilderoy (ok, now I feel REALLY stupid.  I knew this one.  Touche, Ms. Rowling)
  • Gilliver (the antithesis to Professor Lockhart)
  • Garbanzo (I’ve BEAN thinking about this one…)
  • Gibbet (which is absolutely unrelated to giblets)
  • Garret  (I don’t recommend keeping your garbanzos in the garret.)
  • Gauche (don’t tell me.  I don’t want to know.)
  • Gnomic (nothing like a gnome.  Just sayin’)
  • Gangster  (Psst… this is more about the mob and less about gangs.  Which makes no sense but it does.)
  • Glorious  (I’ve never been able to think of glorious without thinking of “Gloria” of John&Gloria fame.  Gloria was most definitely Glorious.)
  • Grunge (So, do you think that’s a new style for me?  Should I try it?  What, you think my current look is grungy enough?  Hmph)
  • Garrulous  (how I’m going to feel if I have to do one more word)

Now, aren’t you glad I’m done?  Glad?  Get it?  Get?  WOOT for G.  Wait, I’m not?  FINE

  • Gone.  That’s what I am.  Gone.

    This was by far one of the most entertaining “G” posts yet…
    Thanks for the *G*iggle & *G*rins!

Taking the pulse of Christian fiction

Episode 484: A Chat with Taylor S Newport
byChautona Havig

The one-year anniversary for book one of the Dauntless Defenders is TODAY! Listen in to my chat with Taylor S. Newport and learn all about the series and the latest in it, No Time to Die.

note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you.

The Dauntless Defenders series novels do not stand alone. Be sure to read the first book first.

By the time we got done talking about these books, I was ready to forget the book I NEEDED to work on and just read for a few days. Can you blame me?

No Time to Die by Taylor S Newport

The enemy believes the battle is nearly over, but he’s just getting started.

Sector 17 has tried to silence the Ghost of Oz, but he doesn’t back down. Back on the hunt, Tyler Reid uncovers chilling truths that challenge everything he knows about his enemy and the woman who works for them. Caught between protecting a Russian heiress and the job she has to do, Tyler starts to question who he can rely on.

Alexandra “Alex” Romanova has been told who she is, but fragmented memories hint at a past she’s reluctant to reclaim—a past far darker than what she remembers. When Tyler offers her a chance to escape her cruel boss at Sector 17, the plight of young recruits being turned into killers weighs heavily on her conscience. She’s determined to give them the same freedom she’s found, but doesn’t realize that in doing so she has put them all at risk.

As the head of Sector 17 clings to power, Tyler and Alex are caught in the middle of a deadly war for lives, freedom, and revenge. With enemies closing in on all sides, they can’t save everyone. The stakes are higher than ever—there is no time to die.

Don’t miss book three on January 23, 2026.

Learn more about Taylor on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub.

November 4, 2025: Bookish Gratitude is a great cu November 4, 2025: 
Bookish Gratitude is a great cup of tea, a snack, and a new book!
I'm drinking Lyon's Gild, recommended by @jenniferdeibel_author , but its in my empty Harney & Sons "Victorian London Fog" tin. That's my second favorite tea. My FAVORITE  is "Christmas in Sisters" from @suttle_tea . Just got my order in... been hounding the website since July. Now that mine is reserved,  I  will sing its praises to the rooftop.  With cream and sugar,  it tastes like a really good chai without the soupyness some ciffee shop chais have.
Eating Pepperidge Farms Linzer raspberry cookies (recommend 2 not 3... three was almost too much).
Reading A Light at the End of the Woods by @carriebrownellwrites ( not Donwell... duh) and @bookmonkeypress 
So far I love it!!!!
