The Jefferson Allegiance
Author: bob04.13.2008
A draft is done. Getting some readers. I need to redo the ending scene. Then send it in to see what my agent says.
Who Dares Wins: I’ve restructured the old book and have cut 40,000 words already. Need to cut more and also write in some more examples and practical exercises readers can to work their way through the program.
Then it will be on to Wild Ride while Jenny is still wrestling with AKMG. Also, somewhere in there we need knock out He Wrote/She Wrote. My stuff in there is perfect, but Jenny seems to be wrestling with her part.
Nothing but good times ahead.
I think.

Hey Bob,
Just got back from the LARA meeting in L.A. and some of our chapter members were talking about driving down for your workshop at OCCRWA in May. Sounds like it will be a sellout!
Glad the writing is going well.

Hey, I wasn’t done reading the last post. Geez, you’re all the time throwing words at us like you’re a writer or something.
So the draft is finally done. Great news. One step closer to the bookstore and me.
Glad to see someone is making some progress. Wish I could say the same.

Definitely nothing but good times ahead for us readers.
The future is good.

Ooh, need a reader for that draft?
April 14th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Very! good times ahead for
us readers.
Yes–need a reader for that draft? Very cool title.
And I’m reading my copy of the 2005 edition of WDW–there’s so much great material, I can’t imagine what could be cut. Terrific book!

McB beat me to the offer. It sounded like you were looking for volunteers Bob. Look no further. We’re armed with red pens and ready to read.
April 16th, 2008 at 9:01 am
Well my pens are purple, Sheryl, but I’m ready to wield them just the same.
April 16th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
Hey, can I sign up for the draft?
(Of your book. The draft of the book. Not the draft that BCB’s always complaining about.)

I wish someone would draft “Cut Out” for a movie. I think that would be so cool. Like “Enemy of the State” meets “The Bourne Identity.” Would Bob want to be the SF consultant on a movie of his book? Opinions? I’d volunteer to read that draft, too!

I no longer complain about drafts since I figured out how to install weather-stripping. Unless they’re first drafts — then I soundly curse them from here to editorial hell. Um, ME? Can you use that pen to write anything other than purple prose? Just asking.
Bob, it appears your writing partner has fallen off the face of– well, best we can tell, off the face of her horned altar. None of us quite understand the need for a horned altar, except as an evil portent of bad things to come. She was reportedly last seen wearing a red tie-on thing. Nonono, not thong. Thing.
Probably you should attempt a rescue. Unless her contractor is really good looking. Then maybe just leave her alone.

Good work Bob. I’m sure you’re right that your work is perfect. If you all are really concerned about Jenny my comment should bring her out. If I remember correctly she is probably too busy to play right now.
April 18th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Hey Bob I just noticed you changed your stance from “We’re Doomed!” to “Nothing but good times ahead”. Sounds like Jenny has been a good influence on you.
Have a nice weekend.

I’m the best thing that ever happened to him. But is he grateful? No.
Good thing I’m a saint.
April 22nd, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Yep, good thing.
Hi Bob, book done yet?
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:26 am
Jenny, I’m sure Bob is very aware of the fact that he doesn’t deserve you. And you may each put your preferred spin on that.

Saint? I thought she was a goddess.
