Why Do I Write? #2

In part one, I talk about what inspires me to write a specific book.  My philosophy is that if I help a single person, the book is a success.  

I love to write! 

I hate marketing my books. I'm aware that I could sell more books if I was more aggressive in my marketing.   It annoys me that I ignore the fact that helping more than one kid should be incentive enough to be more aggressive in my marketing.  The money I earn from my books gets plowed into the next book.  Editors and illustrators are important to any author.   I am lucky enough to have outstanding examples of both, neither are free. 

I'd rather be writing a new book than selling an old one.   The Catch-22 is that selling the old ones supports producing the new ones which takes time away from writing a new one. 

I may be whining here, I'm not sure.   Bottom line, check out my books, if you see one you like, buy it!

Feel free to comment and suggest a topic for a future book.

Samsung FlipShot-ho hum

I just got the Samsung FlipShot aka SCH-U900. If you haven’t noticed by now, I am very family oriented, specifically focused on grandchildren. I frequently lament that I don’t have my camera on me. However, I always have my phone on me. Thusly I wanted a phone with a decent camera. The FlipShot comes close. Samsung claims it is a 3 megapixel camera with flash and zoom. The photos are not what I would consider decent from a digital camera but compared to my last phone/camera, they are much better. The phone has a slot for a micro sd memory card. I popped a 2gb card in there for saving my photos. I have not been able to find a way to default the photos to the memory card. You have to manually move them. I haven’t given up and perhaps in a software upgrade there will be a way to get them to the card without moving them manually. Getting them off of the phone is interesting. If you don’t buy Samsung’s charging/data cable, you can send them to yourself and get them on your pc that way. You ...

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review

Troy-Bilt 2700 PSI 2.3 GPM Gas Pressure Washer Review Item #: 75140 | Model #: 20414 When I started this blog, I assumed I would be only talking tech. Well that led to philosophic musing and then comments on other stuff. I’m not sure where a pressure washer fits but regardless I am writing about it. I was power washing the mildew off the siding and thought the odor was the detergent I was using. When I looked over my shoulder and saw the grey smoke pouring out of the pressure washer, I realized what the odor really was. Considering the age of my venerable electric power washer, I concluded that discretion being the better part of safety and how water and electricity don’t play well, I trashed my old power washer. After much research, I found the Troy-Bilt 20414 was the best bang for the buck I could find. Keep in mind I am a consumer, not some testing house, so I make my purchases based on research and price point. I wanted electric but my boys who participated in the purchase, ...
