144,820

I just had my executive assistant, Tim Elzea, backup my blog. Did a word count. Any guesses? Drum roll please.

I've blogged 144,820 words this year.

To put that into perspective, ID: The True You (my first book) logged in at 51,974 words. My next book, In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day, weighs in at 42,821 words.

All of that to say this. I've blogged three books and it's not even September :) I'm not sure what that means to be perfectly honest. Maybe I need to check into a BA group--Bloggers Anonymous :)

In all seriousness, blogging is my way of processing everything I'm thinking and experiencing. A blog is a biography of ideas. 144,820 words worth of ideas :)

Blog On.

Some of us, me included - need a 12 step program for sure! You blog therefore we read. It's tough. The only problem is that when we want to go back to look at old blogs they are by month instead of topic. Maybe when Tim is bored one day they can be by subject. It would help us junkies out there. Blog on brother. H

Hey now!!! Take it easy on me!! Don't give Pastor Mark any ideas because he might just make me do that someday. :)

No. No. Keep it coming. I love ideas for other people :)

Tim has been getting too much sleep lately anyways. He's been sleeping in till 4:30 AM.

Just found your blog. Enjoyed the reading. By the way, sleep is over rated.

You are correct...sleep is over rated....in fact it is a crutch. (I can't believe that I just typed that with a straight face!!)
