I am serious. Why not just write a book?
http://www.lulu.com/ It is a site that lets you write a book and upload it to thier site for free. They will publish and print and bind the book for free.
You can order one, five or fifty books! There are discounts for ordering over 25 books.
You can choose the size and type of covering too.
I think this is a great site for those in the midst of self discovery. Write for self theropy and then give you work to those who you need to let see it.
Write a childrens book and sell it at your local library.
Write your life story and give it to mom for mothers day (assuming you and your mom are on good terms)
Write a childrens book based on the stories you tell your children at bed so thy will always have them.
Geeze,the list could go on and on.
Publish your art work. Publish your kids' artwork.
Lulu also allows you to make calanders and sell downloadabl books too.
You can make cook books as well. This really would have helped out my aunt who once hand wrote recipe books for the family for christmas!
Go write a book and advertise the heck outta yourself and make some money!
