Mythbusters!

Oh my goodness, check out this little snippet on the Mythbusters show!

If you were stranded on a desert island, and you could take only one item, what would it be?

The Mythbusters show took --- DUCT TAPE!

Yes, it is amazing, check this out: http://www.favitube.com/mythbusters-s10e01/

So the next time your family laughs at you for making sure you have a Costco-size supply of duct tape, replay this video and remember, you can use duct tape for everything -- except ducts!

What to Do With My Old Articles?

I miss that revenue share I got every month from my old articles. It wasn't a lot, usually somewhere between $30 and $50 monthly. But it was money I could count on rolling in once a month, every month.

I didn't sell my article library when the website offered me a pittance for them. I turned down the offer, so they all still belong to me.

So, I have a number of recipes. I'm starting with those while I try to figure out the best revenue share website for the non-cooking articles.

I'm doing an ebook. Honestly, it's a work in progress right now, I'm formatting the recipes I've already dropped into the document and making a list of my other recipes that I'd like to include. Fortunately, I've already written up a lot of my recipes, so it's more a matter of finding the file, dropping it in, and formatting so they're consistent.

AND organizing, indexing, designing a cover and getting it all uploaded to Kindle, Barnes and Noble and smashbooks.

(This might be a series of ebooks, my mom's been wanting to do a cookbook for years so once I have this one completed, hers may be next in the series. She is an AMAZING cook!)



I'll post the link as soon as I'm finished, hopefully within the month.
