Get paid to write (again)

that I spent a lot of time creating.

I’ve finally found a way to format the data so it’s not confusing, overwhelming, or hard to read. (Yeah!)

DH and I are talking about making it into an ebook. We could sell it for very little money, there’s no inventory to track, and with food prices rising on average worldwide 20%, it’s timely.

We need to do a bit more work on the packaging. I don’t know how you save an ebook, for example. But that’s just finding the right reference. We also need a image for the “cover,” but that’s a piece ‘o cake since DH was a pro photographer for many years, it’s just doing it.

I’ve also got one for nonfood items, which is not quite as big as the food calendar, as well as charts to make buying chicken and eggs easier to get the most food per $1. I spent a lot of time making these up for myself, and the idea of having a passive income stream bothers me not one whit. Also, the notion of turning all the work into money isn’t too hard to take either!

and I’d like to become a professional fiction writer or perhaps a memoir writer in the near future.

I have friends actively egging me on, and so I think perhaps that I should do the memoir first. I mentioned this to a friend this weekend and he overheard me telling one of my stories. He told the other bookseller I was talking to, “She’s got a lot of stories, we’re trying to get her to publish them.”

I have some very good friends!
