So, supracoracoideus. I was talking to my fellow students about doing public readings and noted that I didn't like to in part because I use words that I can't pronounce. And then he confessed to having to look up some of the words I used. And then you use supracoracoideus.
Thanks! One day the dickhead angels will stop just bouncing around the country in my head and actually shape themselves into a real story. Anything can happen!
In truth, I shouldn't have used supracoracoideus. I know it because I like wings and learned how they work structurally, but I don't know how to pronounce it and it doesn't actually mean anything to most people. It doesn't evoke any sort of emotion, which would definitely be the hard part for me about readings. (Or slams. Totes into being a poet, terrified of slams.) Knowing what to read at readings is probably a skill we develop. Maybe. >.>
You might not even need professional help so much as just a few solid hours in a mirror watching yourself read things out loud. As someone who regularly muddles and mumbles over perfectly normal words, it sometimes helps to be able to visualize where you're tripping up. Plus, that's a thing an actual professional would have you do anyway. Just ask my mom!

Getting better at not sucking, yes. But I doubt I'll learn to not trip over my words without professional help.
