The magical Lottery machine: a story?

One idea I’ve just had for a science fiction story would be the invention of a machine to get the lottery numbers. But to put some spin on it, why not make the lottery company savvy to the whole thing? After all, don’t you sometimes think that the big companies have a way of stopping you from winning? What if they had a machine that could predict all the wins and could go through time making sure no one really won the big prizes? I think casinos already do this. I do know that they employ...

Keeping at it.

Not much to say, only for the fact that I want to keep writing, even if it’s at the expense of just hearing my own voice. On holiday this week, so too much time and too many aspirations to fit into just a few days. I’ve toyed with the likes of Facebook and Twitter of late, but there is nowhere near the community of writers and thinkers that we have here. I can understand why some have left, as there are richer pickings to be had elsewhere. But you have to pour a lot of money into those things,... Sign in to see full entry.

Changing an old story

I’ve been toying with the idea that I might re-write one of my old novels (Lottery Dreams) and re-tell it in a new light. One idea was to put a little more supernatural in it. Have the characters stumble on a Magic way of getting the money. It would still be set in the factory, and would still be a moralistic tale about modern capitalism and the end of the working class in England. I’ve wanted to narrate the story on YouTube for years, but something has always held me back. Maybe because I’ve... Sign in to see full entry.

Near Death Experience?

I’m listening to a coast2Coast AM pirated broadcast about a leading surgeon (Eban Alexander) who underwent a life changing experience where he went into a coma. So shocking to him, that it changed his view of the afterlife. There are many of these epiphany cases and it’s easy to scoff. But my recent changes are not as shocking as that. Sure, I’ve had several such points in my life, which have certainly changed me. The truth is, I’ve never learnt from them until years later. When I’m able to sit... Sign in to see full entry.

Old lives

When I look back, one stunning fact hits me between the eyes. Recently I've gone through a period of self reflection and re-discovering the past. Now this mainly takes the form of find the old TV shows I watched back as a kid, and trying to remember what I felt like once I had watched them. Some were very important to me, and stayed with me over the years. But the sad truth soon came to the front. And that was, that I was not the great and good person I fondly thought I was back then. Sure, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Honour

After listening to a coast 2 coast programme on the Utube, something struck me. This guy was talking about getting his life together and where he went wrong in the past, you know, the usual. But I am currently working on a little project of my own, and it involves looking deep into my past and who I thought I really was. The truth is, I was never ready for the levels of success I wanted to achieve back then. Even if riches and wealth had have come my way, I would have wasted it. Or simply not...

What's the quality of Traffic?

I'm at an interesting crossroads now. I'm just on the cusp of launching a mass of traffic to the Tinwellbooks website, but what bothers me, is that people will treat it as spam. Sure, you can pay for huge amounts of spam. For a few hundred dollars, you can get a lot of traffic to the site. But there would be nothing of quality and little chance of anyone clicking on my main money source, which would be the Clickbank Hoplink. This is where I would like people to buy the Kindle information and... Sign in to see full entry.

Test Sites!

Having just paid the invoice for the annual fees, I feel I should say something on the blog, even if nothing has happened to me. The 2 test sites are going well,and I'm cheered by the things I've read where people seem to make reasonable money with affiliates and Clickband. Up till now I've no real evidence other than the word of honour of a few people I feel I trust. The real problem is, that I've nothing to fill them with, other than snippets of articles. I need a few very long articles to... Sign in to see full entry.

Tinwellbooks.com

Some good news for once. I've brought back the domain name Tinwellbooks.com This was the first web site I ever brought, and one I did a lot of work on. Sure, it was never used once I let it slip, but it's back with me now. The site was brought up by some company that could sweep up all useless domain names, and turned it into a site selling quack remedies. So it will have got no traffic and a lot of bad attitude. The one good thing about that is, that the search engines will have always kept it... Sign in to see full entry.

Free Adds

I have not used Adlandpro for years and forgot all about it. But it does get listed quite high on the free advertising circuit. I once linked the main page with blogit to try and drum up some trade with my Writers Wanted site. But it never worked out. I think it was because I never had the killer instinct to make money out of people. Sadly, as I've said before on these pages, MLM is the only game in town. It grieves me to try and make money like that, but I can't see a way out. I'm try to push a... Sign in to see full entry.
