Fun with Numbers
I’ve always had a thing for numbers and was even on the 8th grade math team until not being seen as a nerd became more important. Whether it’s calculating how many feet I’d fly if my motorcycle crashed at 135 mph or guesstimating how many times I’ll take out the trash before I kick the bucket, numbers (and death) have always interested me.
There have been a lot of numbers in my life lately. My wife’s 27 weeks pregnant, my unborn son about 2 pounds, 14 ounces. I have 13 more weeks to come up with a name and squeeze in as much writing as possible.
I also need a name for the YA interactive horror novel. 10 pieces of art are complete, about 20 more to go.
In 8 months, Unlocking the Cage hit 15 states, 68 gyms, and interviewed 254 fighters, coaches, and trainers. 56 interviews are already up on my youtube channel. At least 5 will be added each week.
25 Perfect Days advance copies are 3 days away. 36 copies will be mailed to US residents who will write an honest review and provide feedback. 10 of these copies are still open so email me if interested, priority to those that have reviewed Brightside. 2 stories from the mosaic novel are already up in PDF and video. “5 Minutes Alone,” and “14 Angry Marchers.” Next week, I’ll release “13th on the List.” Subscribe to the blog so you don’t miss out.
Brightside is hanging on to its 4 star rating with 45 reviews. It will be 99 cents for all of March along with Repackaged Presents.
I’m on Day 23 of my 108 Ultimate Yogi program, feeling a little better every day. I even splurged on a new 85 inch mat, figured I deserved a little treat for not skipping a workout, squeezing them in as late as 11 at night because I’m determined I won’t miss one.
One more month left on my 90 Day Challenge and 15 pounds to lose. The weight loss is no longer a concern though because my eating habits have changed remarkably and I’m exercising daily. I’ll reach my target goal, but not sure if it will be in the next 32 days.
Today is Day 1 of my 90 day Astral Projection experiment. Maybe I’m researching a character, maybe I’m just nuts. Looking forward to seeing what it’s all about and will try to blog on it every 30 days.
Add up every number in this post (numbers in photos excluded, but written and ordinal numerals included, ie 13th counts as a 13, two is 2.) The 1st person (US resident) to email the correct answer (and by correct I mean the one that matches mine) gets their choice of a signed Brightside or 25 Perfect Days arc. I have kindle copies of Brightside and Repackaged Presents for runners-up and non-US residents. Make sure to either send me a message on Facebook or email me at Mark@MarkTullius.com to enter. Get them in by March 4th.
