Strange but true

Strange but true Funny thing today, I went back to a house I once lived in, more than 30 years ago. 1979’ish, we left. And all those memories coming flooding back. I was worried in case they were too much, but funnily enough, only happy ones came through. I remember playing ELO on the record player in the front room, and sticking pictures of Spitfires on the window. I was between jobs then, having just left school. But why is it that there seemed so much hope back then? What force kept driving... Sign in to see full entry.

Nine dollars

Nine dollars My total earning are now up to Nine whole dollars! What the hell am I going to spend all that money one? The good life is really here! When I wrote Lottery Dreams, I wondered what it would be like when a group of guys in a factory wins a lot of money. And the most obvious one is: that they would all walk out. where does that leave the owner? What is he going to use as labour? So what a wonderful way of getting back at a bad employer. there’s nothing he can do, as even they can hire... Sign in to see full entry.

blogging Hits

I see from some of my fav's that they don't like the idea of people blitzing their bloggs with silly coments. Personaly I can stand that as long as they give me the money. Can't be any worse than ebay, were they hold you to ransom, if they want to send negative feedback. that has made mylife a hell! Steve Sign in to see full entry.

Summer steamers

Summer Special Strange thing happened the other day. Desperate for a way of making money from my writing, I turned back to an old chestnut: Porn! Or rather erotic writing. No sooner had I read through a list of awful short stories, I had tried writing, when something struck me. Was this not where I had ended up 2 years ago? Of course it was. And the reason I stopped writing the short stories to break into that market, was that I had begun the novel: Summer lawns. It had accrued to me, that you... Sign in to see full entry.

Financial reports

Financial reports.. One thing I’ve found for writers wanted to make some easy money, is finance writing. Firms are always wanting articles on investment opportunities. Of course it does have be about things that will make them money! But when you read any of the money pages in the broadcast, they are only guesses. Annalists are what they really want, as no one really knows how the markets will jump. Steve. Sign in to see full entry.

For the sake of writing something

For the sake of writing something, I’ll put down some thoughts. This is more for me than any other poor sole who bumps into it. The Novel I finally finished, and I now stand across the ages like a colossus. what to do now? I so desperately need the money, I want to find any writing site that will pay me hard cash. I’ve even resurrected the idea on erotic writing. I started this game, way back in the 80’s, reading Mayfair, and realising that they paid a hundred pounds a time for this rubbish, and...

Nice Work if you can get it.

Begun the long process of looking for sites to buy my Green articles. The Freelance work exchange is a good site, but they charge for any real service. Bu far the best way is just to type: writers wanted, in Google and see what comes up. I’ve tried to Par down the market, but it’s a worry. Debts mounting up, and the creditors on my back. Very worried about the future. Steve Sign in to see full entry.

Chance offer

Hill and Hill actually want me to submit something! Can you believe it? Of course I should not get my hopes up, as I’ve been knocked down dozens of times in the past. But I have such a strong feeling about this novel, that I’m sure it will work. doing the synops and intro letter. Will give it to George to have a look over, but feel it’s OK. Might change it yet, so I might sit on it a day or two. If this comes off, life is looking up. Found another site, wanting the submission of articles.... Sign in to see full entry.

Randam thoughts

Writing this for the sake of it, as I’ve put nothing in the slot for ages. Found a site the other day, which writes special interactive book. custom made. Now I’ve come across this sort of thing on ebay, where you can have a porno story with you, or the girl of your choice, included in it! This might seem like just another wanker’s paradise, but I’m only jealous of the writers who have landed the job, as it should be me making easy money from fools. But the sun is shining, and I’ve had a lovely... Sign in to see full entry.
