It has occurred to me that many board games, both electronic and oldies but goodies like finding the same two cards, actually encourage playing with matches.
Think about it.
Honestly, I had no idea how many words start with “ma” until I sat down to write this post. I was like, how do I choose?
So I enjoyed writing my NaNo novel so much that I’ve decided to write a sequel to it. I started it today. I’m hoping to get it finished, slowly but surely this time, by the end of January. If all goes well, I’ll be able to come up with a third book to make it a trilogy. My eventual goal is to publish at least three books per year. I know I have them in me. And I think I’ve found the trick to finding the time to write them. Every day at breakfast. Writing less than 900 words a day–that’s half an hour per day–I can write six novels per year.
Finding time to edit them, on the other hand, is a bit more of a challenge at this point.
What I really need is more exercise. I have to try to get out and walk. Fortunately, Christmas is coming. Lots of walking to be done at the mall.
I bought another colouring calendar. I’m a glutton for punishment.
Okay, it’s one in the morning. I’m a day late again for my own prompt. Not only that, but I just realized I didn’t even get my own bonus points.
I have management issues. Obviously.

Do you edit your own books by yourself?

No, I hired editors. I’m too close to the work to see the issues.

I’ll split my bonus points with you, Linda. Playing with matches was a bad habit/huge fun when I was a child. My mother was certain I would someday start a large fire. Good luck with the sequel.

Thanks, Dan! Now I just have to figure out how to split a point, since you got an odd number of them. Way to go. 😉

I guess you’ll have to double mine and then take half

Yes, both of my boys tried to burn down the house on 2 separate occasions. Boys and matches!
