Perhaps after reading my blog, you (and by you, I mean both of you) have some questions . Here are the answers to some common ones (at least questions which I would ask).
- This is some great stuff. Is there a book out there?
Well, there
should be, if I must say so myself. As of October, 2012, there were 48 articles
which have appeared in the Manna. It would be cool to compile them into
a book entitled "
I Was Minding My Own Business, Then Life Happened ". If you are reading this and you are a publisher, you should contact me immediately. If you are reading this and think I'm serious, then you should know that I have a firm grasp on reality, and I know that writers (especially bloggers) are a dime a dozen.
- Do you write anything besides Manna articles and blog entries?
Funny you should ask. I
started a book for our kids a few years ago. It's about four kids who
stumble onto some artifacts in Lewes, Delaware which shed light on the
first settlement in Delaware - Swanendael. The fictitious story, based
in
some fact, hit a road block about a third of the way through. As
soon as I iron out those problems, we will press on in the writing of the
story. If you are reading this and you are a publisher, you should contact me immediately after contacting me about the other book.
- So, besides all that stuff, what else do you write?
I used to write letters
to people before the advent of e-mail. Many of them were awful. Once
in a while, someone actually appreciated it, let me know, and I learned
what
to and
not to say in a letter. Nevertheless, I still often say things I ought not to. I also wrote some Bible study type
things which I shared with the group of believers with whom we fellowship.
Speaking is not my thing. I would rather write.
There is some other writing in the miscellaneous category, all of which is interesting, I'm sure.
- What's the best thing you can do for me?
Nothing. It's not about that.
- Do you make any money from any of this?
Are you kidding? Of course not. I do this for 3 reasons: 1) It's fun, and 2) I failed in my career endeavor to be a mathematician and needed to find another way to entertain/redeem myself.
