Well, I got my first royalty cheque for my novel Like A Flower this week. It's been a long time coming. And it isn't going to change my lifestyle significantly, but it really feels good to get even a little something back for a hell of a lot of work.
There's also been money starting to trickle in from Russ Payne and the Shark Dentists' new all-original album 'In Love With Trouble'. And the feeling is the same.
Words and music may look easy... but they take a lot of hours and a lot of energy. Why do we do it? ... is a good question... I suppose it's what we do and we don't have any choice but to keep on doing it...

Double Take
Rowena J Ronson
There is more to life than words and music... so some of the issues that don't get covered on this blog will now be appearing in a new online magazine called Double Take, which aims to make you think twice about things...
Writing and editing can be a lonely business. It usually has to be, because collaboration is not always easy.
The only writer I've ever been able to collaborate with successfully is Rowena J Ronson, who is co-editing the new magazine with me.
I think we make a good team because we are different and because we challenge each other.
And I think we also bring out the best in each other's writing... give Double Take a read and see if you agree.
