On The Road
Author: bob04.23.2008
Currently in Colorado Springs. Via Twin Falls, ID; Las Vegas, NV; Sedona, AZ; and Albuquerque, NM. Today I went from 80 degrees in the desert to 11,000 feet through a pass in Colorado where there was four feet of snow on either side of the road. Of course, the top on the Jeep was down. Pikes Peak Writers Conference is this weekend. I’ve done it a couple of times before. A very good conference. Last weekend I was in Vegas for the LV Writers Conference. Another good one. Met some interesting people. But do have to admit I am not fond of casinos. New Bob rule: no more gambling towns. Just not my vibe.
Pulling together my Who Dares Wins team. Getting feedback on Jefferson. Lots of work to do. I hear a rumor Dogs & Goddesses is done. You know how rumors are. Got an invite to teach Navy SEALs in Coronado how to write. That’s an oxymoron.
I figured out some important stuff about Who Dares Wins this past week with some help. Need to start simpler. Then build. Go through the nine steps, then you start over again at a higher level.
The sun is setting behind Pikes Peak. LTD.

I gave my husband Writer’s Workshop for Christmas.
Happy to hear you’ll be in Coronado (presumably, since here’s where SEALs live). Maybe we’ll run into you. Dinner always available at our place.

Dare I ask how many “Bob rules” there are? Rumours always have a bit of truth to them, and good luck in your revisions for Who Dares Wins.

Casinos are like carnivals. You have to go into it thinking of it as entertainment. Of course I limit myself to a full pulls on the slot machine and go away happy.
As for the SEALs, a customer is a customer, Bob.
Have fun LTD in the wild, wild west. Next stop Cincinnati?

The Springs? You do know there are CBs in the area don’t ya?
Interesting people are interesting, aren’t they?

On the road, again? Sheesh. When do you find time to write, or should I say sleep?
You’re probably one of those weird guys who can exist on four hours of sleep a night and think anyone who needs eight is a malingerer, or a sloth. Or maybe a malingering sloth.

I put Lost Girls in my husband’s TBR pile a few months back. He got to it this week and said he enjoyed it. He liked that you developed the female characters, unlike so many action-adventure-thrillers.
Anyway, thought you’d like to know you made another fan.

Actually I know at least one SEAL who knows how to write and he owns a copy of Agnes, too.
They’re highly educated, those SEAL guys. Many of them have Master’s degrees. Now, whether they’d be good at fiction — hard to say.

I’m curious. Just what are you trying to teach the Seals to write? Reports, romance, adventure, westerns or maybe even Navy Seals in romances. HooYa I’m up for that.
P.S. did I get that HooYa right?

Oops forgot I was asking a Special Forces (read Army)guy but you have worked with the Navy before, right?

Just Gotta ask: what Is dogs & goddesses?
And there’s a rumor that it’s done (and I rarely believe rumors), but what Is “it”? A book? It’s a mystery, right? (If it’s a book, and it’s done, that’s very good news!) The speculation about this is juust killing me. Gosh, I’ll be up all night just trying to figure it out. Maybe it’s in the Dah file. I’ll just have a look!
