I haven't even been able to blog for $1 yet (although I will not turn down the publisher that reads my blog and asks me to write a book - for pay!). You are right, Raj. Writing a book is hard work and you have to write in order to get it accomplished. Since I have followed my passion and started writing, not a week goes by where I don't meet someone who says "I have an idea for a book but I haven't written it yet." For me, blogging and books are two separate worlds right now. That makes me giggle.
