“Now it is pleasant to hunt something you want very much over a long period of time, being outwitted, outmaneuvered, and failing at the end of each day, but having the hunt and knowing every time you are out there, sooner or later, your luck will change and that you will get the chance that you are seeking.

Yes, of course. Think I'd be good at fiction?

I'd buy whatever you wrote, and if I learn to read one day I'm sure I'd enjoy it too.

Perhaps... I think you could make a killing just publishing your lj entries though. You have some really unique experiences that most people won't get to touch, and from a really unique perspective.

hi again craig,

the second commenter here had a good question that prompted me to return and mention rss syndication which i'd thought of mentioning my first go-around.

with a paid LJ account, you can submit up your rss webfeed address for syndication. compensation, by ad revenue, while not an automatic given, it is possible, depending where one submits i s'pose.

i wrote on this, quite crappily i admit, in http://zuma.livejournal.com/105696.html

carry on.

Yeah, ...what he said! anonymous May 1 2006, 11:18:19 UTC
So, I blog now...but nothing like this. I read your entries and it is just exactly how I want my african experience to sound. The sights and the sounds of my Kenyan experience....there it is, in your journal. The Rift Valley and the significance of it....yep, you got that too. Okay, I didn't get the joys of bargaining with Heather...wish I could....I paid too much for my Kikoys...but there you have it. Thanks for recording these experiences. Wish I could say it as well as you. (You must go to Egypt, I want to hear how you would describe it too!) -jmpaint

I made a visit to your blog the other night. You are quite prolific with the paintings. And quite good.

Thanks for reading.
