I have no income of my own right now. Zip, nada, zilch. But if I get a better digital camera than the one I have now, I will be able to take macro shots of my crafting work and maybe sell some of it online. I am slowly working my way toward that goal, pennies at a time, and I love it! I like to make stuff, and I want to teach others how. If I can take clear shots of my work processes, it’ll be a lot easier to show people what to do via the web. Someday I’ll have a crafting blog with clear pictures. Our family budget cannot justify the expense of a really good camera in these times, so thanks to the Turk, I’ve found a way to do it on my own in my spare time. Someday I hope I’ll be writing crafting books for pay, but I need to find out if I’ve got the chops to be a good author and designer, and if people will want to make the things that I design. The blog will be my starting point on that journey. I’m a high school dropout with a GED, so sometimes the thought of being an author intimidates me. I’m trying out some of the hits that involve writing because I enjoy them, and I need the practice to make up for the lack of a college education. I’m in my mid-forties with no money for school. I usually do an adequate job of writing, but still lack the confidence to call myself a writer. One day at a time. One penny at time.
