    Dates for RTR 2015 Set

    I'm hoping to come, but won't know for a while. If we do come, I could do a program on self-publishing, been doing it for decades.

    honest opinion, could this be the start of an online book?

    You write well... but I am no fan of the present tense for a whole book. OK for the last paragraph but in my mind, not the first ones.

    Moab, UT parking

    We were traveling in that area in a Volvo station wagon with a bed in the back... this was maybe 12-15 years ago. Lots of beautiful places out away from town.

    honest opinion, could this be the start of an online book?

    If you position it as a memoir / dog story, those are both popular categories on Kindles... My books (cozy mysteries so far) sell WAY more Kindles than paperbacks. Lots of people don't even do paperbacks. Then you could also do a separate how-to on the grooming if you wanted to. Also, readers...

    honest opinion, could this be the start of an online book?

    There is so much erotica on Amazon that I wouldn't start with that fun quote as it will repel quite a few readers. I would use it later in the book, but I'd make your first sentence unmistakable about the topic! You can certainly write well enough!

    Finally making a dream come true.

    Congratulations, especially for making such a big step forward!

    Hilarious, if not too practical!

    I want help

    Go for a walk or go by yourself for a coffee in a quiet place. Take a notepad and pen along. REach deep into your own thoughts and feelings. (That said, if it were me, I'd sell and use that money.)

    Crock Pots and stuff?

    There's an interesting thread going on now about cooking with thermal cookers... it would be something to buy but it could work well for you. See especially the link to Bob's blog article about his wonderpot.

    Thermal Cooker?

    Interesting! I didn't know about these things, though I used to make oatmeal overnight in a thermos mug. My background is as a librarian, and that side of me came out... here are some of the things I found: 1. A free download in PDF and other formats of a book written 101 years ago, called The...

    This Graphic Lists Over 200 Resources for Making Money Online

    Well.. I don't know how carefully the list was put together. When I saw eBay listed under affiliate marketing, I went, yeah, how many years since that's been a good plan? Further down, they listed Squidoo. That changed hands and my Squidoo pages are doing better than they were, because the...

    Make money off blog?

    I used to make about $1000 a month from several blogs, a little bit from Google Adsense and mostly by recommendations to products on Amazon or other places. Then several years ago Amazon and Colorado had a squabble and Amazon cut off us affiliates. Later, Google decided it didn't like affiliate...

    Simple Meals for Under $20

    Chop up some veggies and put them in a big pot to cook, along w a bit of olive oil or water. Add some ground meat (beef, turkey, whatever... we get yak from a nearby yak ranch). Stir it. Season it with salt and pepper or sometimes with cayenne or curry powder. Yum! And any leftovers make a good...

    Share what you do for $$

    Both my husband and I are writers: we have our own websites and we both write books. I'm deep into the third in a cozy mystery series I sell on Amazon (you can find them by typing in Zana Hart), hope to have it out by September. I've had spells of doing well with the fiction, spells of selling...

    Handy his & her piss pot: pasta container

    It was a few inches across and a good bit longer, those are the dimensions of the top. I liked it better than a coffee can but hey, whatever you have on hand is the best!

    Handy his & her piss pot: pasta container

    We came up with this one summer when we were sleeping in the back of our Volvo station wagon, traveling in several states. We bought the kind of plastic container that is meant to hold pasta. I took the whole top off and he only had to open the flip top meant for the pasta. I'm sure you can all...

    Living in an "RV" on your own land?

    I doubt we will ever utilities to that land. Like your idea, compassrose, of finding a place with a trashed dwelling. Not sure we'd even go for that anytime soon.
