I make this offering to the trivia quiz gods
SWEET JESUS FINISHED. I've sent off my +200 Trivial Pursuit questions to my editor and signed an important-sounding contract with Webster/Hasbro (with scary words like "whereas" and "forthwith" in it, very daunting). Here's hoping there won't be any complications further on.
It's been uphill work. I wasn't told early on that I would be solely responsible for the entire history category, and that I'd been hired to write trivia questions about Norwegian history, which has never been my strong suit (here's a secret - Norwegian history students are supposed to get the exact same education they would get if they studied in Germany or Latvia or Spain. What I know about the vikings I learned as a child).
Anyway, I'm exhausted and got a cold, I'm prepared to dive back under my blanket and play some Viva Piñata. I'm guessing it'll take at least a week before I stop feeling guilty about "not writing my daily question quota".
