12. Aren't you nice! Thanks so much. I had to research the TV repair. Ebay and amazon

had lots of stuff I could buy cheap, old repair books and magazines, and the internet, too, of course (how did people write novels before the internet?). I've probably forgotten most of it by now.

As for charging more, well, no one would pay that. Books don't get sold unless a major publishing house publishes and promotes them, and you need an "in" to get published by a major house. That's okay. I just like writing stories. As it is, during the max 5-day free period amazon allows every 90 days, only about 25 books were downloaded. The three months before that, 1 was bought--for 99 cents--in Germany.

There's a gazillion of us writers out there. I'm just one, and an old one now, who can remember the 60s and who's polishing my skills to write the Great American Novel someday.
