My Struggle

My Struggle I wrote this because it would look amusing in German. But Adolf and his crew are in that big blogsphere in the sky. Or burning in hell, whichever way you look at it. Do you ever find you have a really good idea then no time to put it into action? Well all my plans have been put on hold. I still love the idea of making a small amount of money just for writing, but up till now this site is the only one which pays. The credit crunch is beginning to hit hard here in the UK. We are on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Novels

Novels I’m still taken with the idea of writing a novel and getting it published. I’ve often said that the only reason I write (and write on here) is for therapy. When you have a job as pointless as mine you need something. I’ve been looking back on some of the novels and short stories I’ve turned out. Some are awful beyond human feelings, but many, and mostly the novels are things I’ve grown to love. Here was a world I truly came alive in. Where my imagination felt no bounds. Now I know plenty...

Ranking!

Ranking! One of my friends here on Blogit (Gomedome) once said that this site ranks very high on Goggle. So if you are after making a little money, and it is a little! You could do worse than put it here. I have many good money making ideas but they all involve spending a small fortune on advertising. The secret behind any pyramid scheme, MLM, stay-at-home, plan on the net; relies wholly on spending your own money on advertising. Unless you are really lucky and can hitch a ride on some popular...

Not too much happening at the moment, but there is plenty in the pipe line.

Not too much happening at the moment, but there is plenty in the pipe line. I like to keep up the idea of writing. Its good therapy and reminds me what I got into it all for. Critters is a site I like, even though I don’t write enough to submit my own stuff. I have plenty that once was, but I have mixed views on why I should submit it. I try to get people fired up here regarding fiction. The difference between the two is that on Critters you have to read people work else you drop off the radar.... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks for anyone who looked at me synopsis.

Thanks for anyone who looked at me synopsis. The dilemma now is should I blitz the web site with a few pages, or point to someplace folks can read it like an e-book? I know people find lots of text on a web page much of a muchness. But few are going to want to read a huge chunk of eboook. Steve Sign in to see full entry.

Synopsis: Lottery Dreams

Synopsis: Lottery Dreams This is a brief description of a story I put together several years ago. There was not even a national Euro lottery in those days. So you can see that I would have to change a lot of it to get it up and running. If it gets you even slightly interested please let me know. This is the story of a group of simple working class men who win the lottery. You follow them on their adventure through the hell of factory life, with its crushing boredom, to the heady heights of... Sign in to see full entry.

Selling Web sites

Selling Web sites I’m very cheered by a resent look at the sitepoint marketplace. After corresponding with a few of the regulars, it seems you can write and sell web sites as long as you are sensible and not too greedy. They will buy a site even though it does not make a lot of money, all they need it the traffic. Now many people are put off viewing sites because the owners thrust the messages down your throat. It’s obvious they just want your money and give little back in information or... Sign in to see full entry.
