...but I just got contracted to make custom coffee mugs for an off road magazine. Maybe I can pester them into letting me write for them. :D

Very cool mug. I bet all of us in the tea party (a few threads below this one) would love to hear about your adventures in mugs.

Thanks guys. I've been making custom mugs for a forum that I'm a mod on and it's grown to quite a little business in the last few months. The magazine is an off road adventure mag that I love so it's double cool that they want to sell my mugs in their pages. I'm in the process of designing it for them (how cool is that?) and then they'll take care photos, ads, and selling.

Once I get in good, I'll start bugging them. Writing for a magazine that would send me camping and off roading would be a dream job. :D

What talent! If you already have off-road experiance you could present them with articles in a sort of, 'oh, by the way...' manner. Well done.

Make a mug that won't spill off the dashboard when you're driving up that hill -- then write a short story on it!

Congratulations, TT, and dangit, but it's good to see you. Not near enough tyre tracks around here anymore.

YaY! tiny!

Copywriting is writing - write some copy to go with your mugs. Advertising is everywhere.

You can do this! :)
