An old blog, but I'm hoping to bring it back. In 2020, I ran for President of the United States as the nominee of the American Solidarity Party, drawing some 42,000 votes. For most of my career, I taught history and other subjects, mostly in secondary school, nine years at a missionary school in Colombia, one summer in China, and the rest in California. I hope to spend my remaining years writing.
Today I reached 60,000 words in my novel. That's about 220 pages of manuscript. Averaged over the 37 years since I put the first words on paper, that comes out to about 4.44 words per day.
Wow! That means I completed 38 weeks worth of writing, just since I got out of bed this morning. No wonder I'm tired!
