sixmats - welcome to the site! If you're looking for more apartment friendly green suggestions check out my vermicomposting article. How do you like living in Japan? We lived in Australia for two years and loved being ex-pats. Happy reading!

I found your blog through CMF and I’m glad I did! This post was great.

I’m in an apartment in Japan and I use the “cold water” from the shower to do laundry. My washing machine has a pump that I can put into the tub (which we don’t use often).

Hi Richard,

Yes it is a compilation of articles from different bloggers. It will be a self-published book, so it won’t be as “polished” as those highly commercialized ones. But it would be a start. Who knows? a big publisher might come along and notice it. Kindly send me a PM in the EC dashboard if you opt to accept my invitation. I will PM you my email ad then. Thanks. I look forward to your contribution.

Richard,
So, marketing is not your cup of tea. Well, at least you can call your rain barrel as your own. One of your pet projects, if I may add.
Looking forward to your next “top secret” works.

Thanks for the (entirely undeserved) compliment Jena! Full disclosure: I have only written one novel in its entirety: The Renegade's Door. Which hasn't been read by a single publisher yet, I might add. Doormaker's Fall, the first novel I attempted to finish turned out to be more of a giant world building exercise than a book. But it helped me establish the framework for Renegade, and Voices of the Deep, which is more of a short story than a full length book. And again, the only place any of this stuff is published right now is here on my own website. It's a bit premature to call me a great anything. But I'm glad you enjoyed it. What's your book about? I take it you're working on a compilation of works from multiple authors? Cheers

Hi Richard,

You’re a great writer. Congratulations for winning the Nanowrimo with your several novels. I wish you could be among the contributors to my book. All the best.

Early – yeah, if you’re a die hard you can use the cold water to shower in… provided that your neighbors don’t mind hearing a high pitched shriek first thing every winter morning.

Zorlone – there’s only so much you do with creative advertising.
