I have a new game! I have been working on it for several days – but it\’s finally ready to play. It is based on the Simon Says game that was popular a million years ago. Basically there are five sounds that match up with five images. The game will give you one sound and light up an image. You have to click the image that lighted up with the sound. Then it will give you two sounds…. then three… etc.

This is not a game that I coded myself – not that smart! But I did put in all new images and sounds so that took a bit of work. Al the images are for Christmas Nativity. In January I will do add some new versions – but for now – it\’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

In the future if you want to play this game – it can be found on the Card site under the tab called games. I will add it to the main menu on the home page soon – but tonight I\’m heading for bed and the rest of my book!

\"rosarycover-4-100px\" Rosary Book Update:

Day 31 of Book Production

144 days till Publication

Today things definitely started to move forward with the book. It started with my biweekly group call with my copywriting group at 6:30 a.m. this morning. (It started at 6:00 a.m. but I forgot to set my alarm and forgot about it till they called me. Since the five of us are scattered all over the U.S. the two of us on the West coast get the early time!) Anyway I wasn\’t looking forward to the call cause I was a bit discouraged – but my team mates picked me up, brushed my blues away and got me excited and sent me on my way.

They suggested I try spending time on Facebook and connect with Catholics there – so that is my new pond to jump into. I know there are a lot of Catholics out there who pray the rosary it\’s just getting into the same zone they are in! I am going to try – try – try and make a tiny 15 – 30 second video about the book. It will be just a camcorder – rough sort of slapped together thing but they thought that would be a good way for me to get things across better. I tried it tonight with the camcorder – first I have used it with this new laptop. It worked pretty well. I just have to figure out how to edit it. The program I had for editing doesn\’t handle the new video formats – so that is a problem. Will see.

If you think of a story and don\’t want to write it – email me and I can call you and write it from our conversation. That\’s really the way I prefer anyway! I can ask questions and get more details. 🙂  I will of course work with you back and forth till it reads like you want it.  If you want to call me my number is (541) 971-5376 – I can\’t always answer but I will get back to you as soon as I can.

  1. I love the new game, I am on the high score board, so excited !!!

    Great idea about tapping into resources with face book the other thing I thought of was LinkedIn. check on their with all your contacts and let them know it is for a book and you are looking for contributing short stories regarding the rosary, etc. that might help also. the mention of face book opened my mind to LinkedIn. Just a thought.

    Enjoy your books and l love the new game, thank you so much.

    1. Hi Cathy – Good for you on the high score. I was there the first time I played it! Since then . . . not so much.

      It helped not to have any competition!

      Yes, LinkedIn would be a good place to connect with.

      Glad you like the game!

  2. Patricia,

    I don’t know how you do it all. You are so very clever. The suggestion of Facebook is probably a good one as I am sure you will find Catholics who respond. I am not on Facebook but my daughter is and enjoys it very much..
    God Bless You in all you do.

    1. Thanks Mary,

      I have been on Facebook for a while – but I don’t quite get it very much. Does seem like a place that can gobble up time – just got caught now by checking out one thing and ending up who knows where but was a fun trip. 🙂

  3. I agree Facebook is perfect to reach out. What about Twitter? Did you try your own back yard your church? I look forward to your new game it should be fun. All new games are fun to try. Have a blessed 5th day of Advent. Kathy OFS Siochan Agus Maitheas

    1. Yep, Twitter is a good place. It’s a good place to connect with too. Just have to do it. Need to come up with some sort of time schedule – I make a resolution to do more of something and then forget in a day or two. Geesh

      I have one story possibility from our parish – will have to see if I can put an announcement in the bulletin maybe.

      Hoped you like the game.

  4. Hi, Patricia!
    I really like the new game! I made it through 7, but that was all my little bwain could handle:)

    All the games and puzzles are great – Thanks for making them such fun!

    1. Glad you liked it. I was surprised that I actually do get better the more I do it. So must be the brain does figure it out a bit.
