I long aspired to be like Granny Weatherwax when I grew up, but lately I've come to accept that, with the exception of the heap of children, I'm surely on track to become a Nanny Ogg. 🍻

I’m so happy it did!

If you do this, you might win a copy of one of my books + some Words Unravelled merch!

Oh! And for winning the game, my prize was a $1000 donation to a charity of my choice. I went with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

The full episodes are on Neuemotion’s LinkedIn. It’s a new thing that they developed for Advertising Week in New York, but they’re planning to keep it going at other venues and in other contexts!

I won an ad nerd game show with a book themed question. (I was losing at this point, but got lucky with the bonus points.) Big thanks to Neuemotion and Ted Harrison, our host, and bravo to my brilliant co-contestants Natalie Fratto and Gail Amurao.

That can be arranged! 🍃💚🍃

Or preorder a copy anywhere you get your books. 😄

Cornu cervinum, I believe? "Stag's horn." And actually "antler" is said to be from the Gallo-Roman cornu *antoculare "horn in front of the eyes." So the "cornu" or horn is very much implied in both, which is validating.

Oh god
