Oh, er.. somehow that comment I just made didn’t make it into the correct blog article! The one it was meant to accompany was the one with the photo of the sexy lingerie and hand written warning note. 😀

Hahahahahah Is your wife the type to love a new perfume or does she have her favourites? I, myself, have twenty five bottles of the stuff. Also, my husband and I never buy each other presents so that saves all sorts of dilemmas! lol. Happy Christmas. xo

Reblogged this on Self-Publish 101 and commented:
Am I a ‘writer’? I don’t think so, or I don’t think many people would consider me to be one, but I have certainly written millions of words in my lifetime. I’m leaving aside personal letters (and, over the past 20 years or so, emails), reports and the like, which would account for many, many thousands of words. For around 10 years I wrote no less than 5,000 words a week, so a total of 2.5 million words would be a very conservative estimate during this time alone. In the remaining 40 or so years of my adult life I’ve probably averaged a weekly writing output of about a fifth of this, so around another 2 million in all. Let’s say around 5 million words in total. You might gather that I like to write. Does this make me a ‘writer’?
