I just did the math…over the course of the life of this blog
(still a “baby” at 18 months old), I have written 162 blog posts. I’ve tried my best to post three times a
week. So at an average of 900 words a
post, that equals 145,800 words. That’s
two-and-one-half books. How many books
have I written in that same period of time?
ZERO! So it occurs to me if I am
going to be successful in this business I had best put fingers to keyboard and
write more books and less blogs.
So please bear with me as my posts are a bit erratic over
the next few weeks as I try to set the fulcrum at just the right spot to
balance writing and blogging. But rest
assured there is plenty of BITCh (that’s Butt In The CHair) time going on
here! I’ve typed THE END to a novella,
which is about 20,000 words or about 1/3 (maybe a wee bit less) the size of a
novel. I’m on the deep editing
stage. It should be off to my critique
partners by the end of the month, then on to an editor then released into the
world. I don’t mean to be a tease, but
here is the opening line to Behind the
Blue Door: 230 Periwinkle Lane:
“You’ll never guess what happened to Mudge!”
Hate to keep you guessing but I’m hurrying to get it
done. I promise. I'll be back soon with another blog post.
