I stumbled across it by accident.

But then, any thing I stumble across that is either worthwhile or worthless is usually by accident.

When you don’t know what you’re looking for, you never expect to find it.

I had finished writing a blog the other day, which wasn’t that difficult, but then it was time to start the hard part of blog posting.

I found myself, once again, searching for tag words.

I know tag words are important.

I read where tag words are important.

I hear other authors and bloggers say that tag words are important.

I’m never know for sure what makes a good tag word or what’s a good number of tag words to post with a blog or on StumbleUpon.

So I had begun my daily dig.

It was late.

I was tired.

I was in a hurry.

I was trying to type in the tag word NOVEL.

I missed the V.

It came out NOEL.

I’m always looking for signs.

So I believed this was a sign.

We write novels.

It’s Christmas.

Christmas, I’m told, is a great time of year to sell books. After all, people have to give something for the holidays. It might as well be a novel.

So for all of you who write and publish and promote and market and tweet your lives away, I wish you great success in a season of sales.

Just think about it.

Novel.

And Noel.

They go together.
