Hooray,
I got a letter from HMRC saying that I underpaid tax of £667.60 and that I need to pay them by the end of the month. Just what you need when you're unemployed with no prospects of a job.

This competition has actually been a really useful experience for me, because it's demonstrated that I can actually cut down my Sunday SMS stories succesfully (the competition limit was 120 characters). Sure, whatever nuance or colour is possible in 160 characters tends to get lost in the process - but it's still doable. I'm currently thinking of ways to do modified versions of the stories also as a twitter feed (140 characters) to try to get a larger readership.

I've been thinking of suggesting this for a while. Also consider that with a popular twitter feed behind you, it might be easier to get the book published.
Inlander:
What I'm thinking of doing is keeping the regular Sunday SMS stories, but also cutting them down to size and posting them on Twitter on Mondays. I'll also set up a simple blog which will explain the whole project and which will have the phone number for anyone who wants to subscribe to the SMS versions. I'll probably also get a PayPal account or something and start charging a small subscription fee for the stories - probably A$10 a year (which will more than cover the costs of distribution).
I'll probably waive the fee for existing subscribers, though. (Don't tell anyone!)

Hey Jens, can you go to the wailing wall or whatever and stick a note in there praying for some decent Red Sox baseball?
I feel like maybe I should try this religion thing, 0-6 is just not natural.
