Monetary Report #5

Well, I did it again. Last night. Ken Meisel and I gave our presentation at the Creative Spirit Center, and I sold a copy of my novel for ten dollars -- one dollar over cost. So, this week sees me earning a hefty $1.00 from my writing.

That brings the total to: $19.83. Well, at least that's not likely to trigger an audit from the IRS next year.

Ken and I will also get some money from the Creative Spirit Center for last night's presentation, but I'm not sure how much, so I'll report it in the weeks ahead. Believe me, it won't be much.

Ken and I did an excellent presentation, if I do say so myself. He talked about about the neurobiology of love and the means of sustaining long-term attachment. I walked the participants through the dos and don'ts of writing a love poem. We closed with a brief poetry reading. The eight people who showed up thought it was quite good.

Our "Love" presentation is available to groups. Just send me an email.

You're raking it in Jeff. I feel the pain, my friend. Though no story is complete without adding in the check I once received made out in British Sterling for 25 pounds. The bank wanted more to cash it in fees than it was worth. Note to self: publish with an American publisher next time... yikes.

Tim,

Thanks for stopping by. Great story about the 25 pound check! Yes, it's a strange life this writer's life -- especially on the D list.

Check back this Sunday, however, because this week is already shaping up to be a lucrative one (no sarcasm here, either -- really)
