A model writer

I like Danny Bloom - his style of writing, his wits, the way he promotes his books, his lifestyle. He's just like me. He's what I want to be.

Danny Bloom is the first author to try selling his books in an night market in Taiwan. He sold only 3 books on the first night. Then 25 books every night.
Soon newspapers feature such a refreshing story. More media exposure. More popular. And soon more books. He tells you why bookstores are not a good place to sell your books.

Read his story at http://www.taiwanho.com/people/dan/

He wrote an article about why he thinks the world is coming to an end cos of climatic changes. His pen name is "Charles C. Commons". I love his style of writing. You can read it at http://openthefuture.com/2006/12/an_eschatological_taxonomy.html

He lives in a countryside as a freelance writer for the newspaper. He was happy to live in a laid-back, stress free environment even though he was paid much less than his previous job in the city.

He shows that you don't have to be rich to be happy.

If you can write well, you'll not starve cos newspapers need fresh content every day. Think about it.
