Rich, you are so on target with your post about having content before you sell it via a blog that I am in awe. Good luck with your blogging plans!
I'm glad you included the regular book reviews although them seem to be a bit out of place, sort of thrown into the last third of the post, although you did try to transition to them.
Good work, as always!
Alan I think YOU are one of those brilliant bloggers. Thanks for this site it is truly insightful, inspiring and informational.
Rosie

ps I like your post here forgot to mention that~
That's very kind of you to say, Rosie.
Mark, I knew what you meant. I agree the book reviews were not as well integrated as I would have liked. Sometimes I do better than others with incorporating book talk into a post about something else.
Christina, Thanks for stopping by. I will be sure to check out your site again soon.
I was underwhelmed by the real tower when i went this year, I think it was because it was surrounded by a gazillion tourists and tourist tat. Yes I was one of them, but it must be lovely to get there when the place is deserted.
Anyway back to the main part of this post, I think that in two-three years you may just have enough for that trip to Scotland and more :)
Especially if you continue to write like this.
Thanks for the encouragement, Claire. I appreciate it. And you are definitely on my list for the Highlands trip when those big adsense checks start arriving every month ;)
I guess I don't understand why people think everything is going to be so darn easy. Just open up a blog without any thought to content (perhaps just steal it or use the free articles already plastered all over the web) and put up ads everywhere there is space for one and you'll get rich? Uh... no.
Much like other things in life, making money blogging takes effort and time. You need a product before you can sell it (as you have stated so eloquently).
I'll have to read that flash fiction blog, speaking of which I think it's about time I throw up another of my 120 word micro fiction stories! :)
I love your very shorts, Dawn, though it does seem to me some writers just can Not work in that format. I also really admire bloggers like you who produce fantastic content and reject monetization altogether. I hope none of my non-monetizing friends resent seeing the ads or stay away because of them.
