Love or Madness?

Love-love love!!! What a state we are in. Unsure whether I should put any of these words down on Bloggit, but seeing as none of my other projects have taken off, so what. Last Saturday night I watched a programme which included the film Swallows and amazons. So fare so good. There came upon the screen an actress Suzanna Hamilton. It suddenly struck me that I had seen her recently in a TV detective show: New tricks. Even that was a year old. As I got thinking I suddenly began to remember all the... Sign in to see full entry.

Viruses!

Have not had a chance to write anything, as both my computers have gone down with one of the nastiest viruses I've ever encountered! Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

Changes to both my novels The Wraiths Lottery Dreams I’ll post any changes on bloggit in the future. Good feeling about the future. I’ve decided I was born a writer and will die one! Maybe not quite yet though Steve Sign in to see full entry.

Ebay and Tax

Ebay and Tax I’ve just heard on the radio, that the inland revenue, are interested in people who trade on Ebay and don’t want to pay Tax! (Keep in mind this is the UK) How in the hell are they going to track them down? There must be close on a million people do it for a living. The Tax man can’t even keep up with people trading out the back of trucks. So how do they fondly think they are going to catch them? Of course they will only deal with the big boys, 20,000 plus. But they will be too... Sign in to see full entry.

Investment opportunities

When thinking of things to write about, one overriding factor comes forward. Only write about things people can make money from. Now I thought along the lines of building. In the UK the only real game in town, is doing up houses to sell for insane amounts of money. But there is a flaw here. Not everyone can do it. They are not bright enough, courageous enough, or rich enough. So what’s the alternative? To write about the sort of things I like. Easy ways of making money but still sat on your ass....

Surveys!!!

Surveys!!! Still no real movement on this one. Up till now this is the only good site, which cost me about 20 pounds sterling. www.surveyhawk.com I’ve filled in about 70 odd sites, but nothing to show. Keep smiling. Steve Sign in to see full entry.

Surveys

Surveys Having taken the decision to try and make money from these online surveys, I’m 2 days into it. So far it just seems like endless form filling. Up till now, there it not a sign of a penny piece. Plenty of promises, but f all else! Have I made another big mistake? Maybe, as it does look a little empty. There was some one on this blogg that did mention that they made a living from these things. The work does not bother me, but there better be some money soon, or I’ll be jolly cross.

Petrol Prices

Petrol Price With petrol prices going through the roof, I think it’s about time we had a serious look at alternatives. Bio-diesel is a good idea, but will still be subjected to the same level of tax. But by far the biggest problem is the petrol companies themselves. Will they let us use bio fuel? I think not. China and India are supping all the world’s oil, and that’s to be expected. But until China levels out economically, the oil companies don’t know which way to jump. Are we ever to have an... Sign in to see full entry.

Life goes on/Robin Cook!

Things going well, little writing getting done. I’m going to concentrate on Web design for the bread and butter money. When you look at the market for making money through writing, it’s pitiful. Clearly there is no real money in writing articles. Of course there are people who land very good jobs writing nonsense, look at the shelves of W H Smiths! But not me, sadly. Hill & Hill have the novel, and we’ll see if they can land anything. But the real money will come from hard work, and not... Sign in to see full entry.
