Re: stringer, Blogging and decent money
Although markets for words are getting pretty few and far between, there
still is an active community involved with lectures, workshops, and
demonstrations. People want to learn by doing. My old friend Rex Murfitt is
teaching garden groups how to propagate and plant rock garden plants. Even I
have somehow become involved in teaching workshops on how to make troughs
and plant them. Everyone in the class goes home with a completed project.
A gardener I spoke to recently has started a business where he does custom
organic farming with or for people on their McMansion lawns, whichever way
they like it. He enlists local teenagers for summer labor.
A lot of people are looking for guidance in planning and planting their
gardens. Teaching is just one more aspect of communication so maybe there is
room for some of us there.
Hmm, along with classes you have to have textbooks...or write them.
Everything old must be rewritten in the short new twittery style.
