Daily Prompt: What are your favorite side hustles for making money? 9/29/26

John 3:16 – Be Thankful, Grateful, Patient, Charitable, Kind, and don’t forget to smile as it is infectious.

I guess you could say my side hustle is writing. Let me explain further: Since 2013, I’ve written and published three stories that many of you may already know.

As a precursor to the above shared information. I retired on Social Security Disability after having 6 knee and foot surgeries in 5 years, in 2014 and after 42 years of service with Acme Markets.

So, I was looking for something to occupy my mind and to fill a curiosity at that time in my life. I’ve always been entertained on a personal level, leaving a legacy that will hopefully outlive me and fulfilling a dream of becoming a published author. T

Though none of these works have made me much money, they gave me something more than money can buy…purpose and a sense of pride.

Had it not been for our eldest three grandchildren hearing and urging me to publish it and share it with readers like you… well, who knows if I’d be sitting here today writing this prompt to post on my daily blog.

That story is now officially a teenager in the publishing world, alongside other notable literary giants. A fellow co-worker, shortly before I retired, came up to me and said… Thanks for letting people know that we are collectively more than just service industry employees,

So, if you have already read, liked, or shared my works, I thank you. However, if you haven’t read my latest story, A Chance Encounter with A Most Unusual Acquaintance or A Glimpse from Christmas Past, May I suggest you give them a read and then maybe share it with your family and friends this holiday season. Here is a free sample: http://www.A-Glimpse-From-Christmas-Past@Audible.com

If I may be so bold as to ask, as reviews are hard to come by, would you kindly write, copy, and paste your reviews to any or all online bookstores where my works are available? It would be deeply appreciated.
