Thanks for the mention, Trent – good luck on the book! Writing a blog is stressful enough – I’m sure a book doubles/triples/quadruples up the pressure!

Keep going on your book.

Thank you so much for the link to edmunds.com for “Confessions of a Car Salesman.” I also receive an e-newsletter from My Super Charged Life, and he was asking for advice about buying a used car. I commented on your link, and on the site.

I knew my brother and sister-in-law were ripped-off on their car purchase. But, one of my sisters is in the market for a car, and I told her about that site. Wish I had known about it before I bought my car.

Thanks, again,
Francine

Congratulations, Trent. I’m glad to see that you are working hard on your book. Previous comments I’ve seen in response to your columns indicates that quite a few of your readers (myself included) are also writers and that we might benefit from hearing about your process. It would be particularly interesting to learn how you went about finding an agent, what kind of advance one might expect to be offered on a non-fiction book by a first-time author, a sample timeline that might cover the period from the initial query letter, to signing with an agent and, of course, getting the book sold by your agent to a publisher. Ever since I read your words: “Great News: I have a book deal” in one of your columns back in April, I’ve been interested in learning how long the process took and what the steps were along the way.

Thank you for the mention! As my single couldn’t financially help me out with college, I had to learn to do without. Having an emergency fund was something I kept needing as I was going through school, so finally I put my foot down and ramened my way to a small fund.

FANTASTIC post on the confessions of car salesman. And the post title about a big butt…classic.

Most weekly roundups that so many blogs do go back to the same authors week after week. The Simple Dollar reads so many (not sure where he finds the time) that I love to be reading just to find new and interesting blogs.

Thanks for doing all this homework…great site.
