My partner and I are talking about selling his car (though it’s 20 years old, so not sure how much we’ll get for it) and getting an e-vehicle.  I already have an e-motorcycle, but it’s not always safely ridable in Oklahoma wind and weather. But I’m not prepared to empty my savings, such as it is. I’m trying to think of ways I can live even greener. I am going to start a vegetable garden, but alas, I am not a greed thumb. 28th time’s the charm? I love love love the idea of eat fruit and veg fresh from my own garden, but the things I grow are not edible, let alone appetizing.  But I had a really blue few weeks and plants make me feel better, so giving gardening another go! I just let my own yard grow wild, but I’ll cultivate in a raised bed (which is a first. Maybe this is the key to success!)

Unsurprisingly, having two e-books on amazon does not make for a full time income. Can’t even buy groceries with it. So I’ve been giving plasma for money. Apart from the disastrous first attempt when I passed out, it’s been going well! It’s not the most glamorous life-style, but hey, it helps. It pays for groceries and books, at least! (Life’s two necessities.)

I have a writer’s conference this weekend, so I have an opportunity to make local writer friends and network some! I’m half excited, half worried that I will be the only one wearing a mask.

Anyway, if you haven’t already, you can get books from my series here.

And my Creativity Planner here.

Please give them a read and a review!

Until next time, keep reading and keep trying to make the world a bit better.
