You have a quality that is unique and very appealing. It is kind of hard for me to describe it. Irreverent maybe? Outrageous sometimes? Genuine and never coy? I recently read two different books written by expats, and both of them are extremely fun to read. One is an expat from the U.K. who, with her hubby, moved to Spain (her approach is, to some extent, slapstick, and it works for her, although eventually it gets kind of old). She has done great with her writing. Check out Victoria Twead's Old Fools books. She might give you some inspiration. She's written several books, all available as Kindle e-books. She has illustrated her books, and the photos certainly can't hold a candle to yours! The other is Karen McCann, Dancing in the Fountain: How to Enjoy Living Abroad, also a Kindle e-book. In any case, your writing style plus your fantastic iPhone photography might be a winning combination. I like your idea of an auto-biography, too, btw. -------Original Message------- Date: 03.09.2014 00:34:11 Subject: Re: [iPad] OT: greetings from Costa Rica Well i would love to do it. I'm not really sure however that I could fill a book or know the subject. I've often thought about some of the more stupid and highly prosecutable things I've done and also of the rises and almost rises I've had and somehow putting that into a bio, as bios do sell, but I just don't know. People have suggested travel writing but that's a highly crowded field with writers that are much more connected than I already doing it with tons more published works to back them. To get someone to get my incomplete guide to traveling central America over lonely planet or moon is a very big hurdle. I think the biggest hurdle you can see here, my in trepidation rather than enthusiasm. What I would need is the correct inspiration that sets enthusiasm and action into motion. I guess publishing an ebook would be simple. Either way. It's a thought I'll keep in mind for a while. Maybe if I could get some of this volunteering figured out I could write in that direction. Thanks for the kind thoughts. I'll definitely take any more you have :) On Sep 2, 2014, at 4:07 PM, "'Carlee Marrer-Tising' c-marrer-tising@bluewin.ch [iPad]" <iPad@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
