Who’d have thought I would ever stick at this blogging lark so long that I would write a thousand posts?
More importantly, who’d have thought I’d use an exclamation mark in a headline like that? It’s like working at a very cheap newspaper. This is a very special occasion though, so if ever a post warranted an exclamation of any kind then this is it.
One thousand posts.
*heavy sigh as though I have literally just written them all right then and now need a jolly good rest*
How many words do you reckon I write in average in a post? (Definitely something I should know rather than you, unless you count, which is weird.)
400 maybe? 500 if I’m being generous? That would be half a million words, which is officially A LOT OF WORDS. Just to put that into some sort of perspective, that’s enough words to fill 17 Olympic sized swimming pools or two and a half football stadiums. If you laid all of those words out next to each other they would cover an area roughly the size of Wales.*
Also, the average mystery novel is around 80,000 words, so I written the equivalent of five or six books**. I am basically Agatha Christie.*** View Post
