I should have sanded the wall down some more, or smoothed the paint in some other way. It works fine, but it&#8217;s harder to erase the spots that aren&#8217;t even because the eraser can&#8217;t get in there.<\/p>\n<p>The only downside is that I only have one. I wish it were bigger, but I made it to fit the wall space that I had. When I&#8217;m plotting a novel or story, there isn&#8217;t room on the white board for anything else. I&#8217;m starting to think about my next novel, but first I have to diagram my vegetable garden. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost two years ago, I painted a magnetic white board onto the wall of my office.
