I’m sorry, folks. I’ve pulled two late-nights working on projects unrelated to this post and therefore have nothing good to write about today. Therefore, I am canceling this blog post.
Uh Oh! No, wait... uh, Reader, can you just wait right there? – I’ll talk to her about this whole blog canceling thing.


Um, excuse me?
Uh huh?
We can’t just cancel this post like that.
Ugh, you’re right. OK, fine. But you have to give the onomatopoeia tip.

Ulp! ...
*Uncle*


(*Mental Pep talk*)
Ok, I can do this. Um, so today’s tip is, uh...
​Don’t be afraid to, um… to uh... to...

Hesitate! Uh, yeah, that’s it – sometimes onomatopoeia is great when you need a character to hesitate. No matter the reason. Whether it’s –
Polite​
Um, excuse me…

Nervous
Um… uh...
Painful
​
Uggh
​
Panicked
​
Uh oh!
​
Or gobsmacked
​
UUUUUhhhhhh!

You can rely on U to help you with any character hesitations.
Wow, I did it! I really gave the tip for this blog post! What do you think of my accomplishment?

Um, Okay… Oh well, some things have their own rewards … Um, ​I still feel like there's something missing... Oh, I know! A video!
​OK, this video needs a warning - I am confident that when this song was written no racial offence was intended. The message I get from this scene is that whites were so ignorant, and Native American culture was so foreign to them, that they couldn't ask intelligent questions about it. So enjoy, and please don't take offense.
Let's see, anything else?

Uhm, are you sure there should be owls on a pillow? They're predators, after all ;-) Loved the post.

Good point! But it was a comfy pillow, so I'll give her a pass. LOL, thanks for stopping by and adding *another* spelling to the word Um. :)
