Jena and Ross

Hey,

I think I'm officially writing again because the characters are taking over my thoughts and why I write. These things need to be said for the most part because there is someone out there that wants to say them and can't. That's part of the responsibility of an author. Say the things that need to be said for the people that can't say them loud and long enough for anyone to hear them. I'm not sure I'll be able to say them loud enough but I will say them long enough. I hope that it helps take the hurt away just a little. You'll know that at least I understand and I think it's important that at least one of us knows.

Thanks and we'll talk soon,

Bob

My muse and me

Hey,

I can't believe my luck. First I find a great muse from years gone by when she finds me on face book. That's just a hoot. Second I'm finally finished with my last novel and third I got started writing again. My life was almost complete with my first muse Grace which I'm married to and live with and then I'm sitting up here on the third floor and I can look out and see Lake Superior and now my new muse can't wait to read what I've written and wants to help in creating the Jena character. What more could a human being want or need.

I'm thanking God or the Gods or whoever is around up there.

Working Title "Murphy's Law"

Hey,

Well it looks like I'm finally going to get started on my next novel. I'm sure the title is going to change and probably many times before it's over but it's a start and my computer knows which one to bring up when I ask so it's all good for right now.
Jenna and Ross are going to to be my best characters yet (I hope). Ross is a stud muffin and she's a semi tramp but she can't mix business and pleasure if she wants to keep her job. Makes for some lonely, frustrating nights for her. I want things turned around a bit.

Talk soon,

Done Really done finally

Hey,

Okay not quite but I'm close enough that I can smell the end. It's amazing how my fingers can just fly across this keyboard like they know exactly what they're doing and then it's time to look at what wasn't auto-corrected. After the first hundred or so pages all of a sudden I guess I don't type real fast at least accurately. But going through it is good because even the spell check is wrong a lot.
All that needs to be done is create a PDF file of it and I think it's on it's way to my e-book site. God that was a long one. Ended up at 634 pages and a 105,000 words. "The Friday Night Dance Club" is at least my longest to date. I'm going to start a new one after I give my fingers a well deserved rest.

Talk soon,

Bob

Done

Hey,

Okay that was a long one and I just want to go to sleep and wake up some time next week. "The Friday Night Dance Club" ended up around 600 pages. It was a long one and I almost scrapped the whole thing when I first started reading it and then as I edited and edited and took stuff out and put stuff in it started to make sense.
I want everyone to understand why I wrote the book and that it took a lot of doing on my part to figure it out but as I was talking to a friend the other day it was one of those dawning experiences.
I'm very troubled about all the violence and mayhem that goes on not only around the world but in our back yards too. It seems as certain people don't care how they screw up other peoples lives. It's just about them and that's it. They go around not caring what they do to people.
Take burglary for instance. Yeah they just take things and that's it. We can replace them and we all say that at least no one got hurt. That's not true. That person goes to bed every night for months or years feeling violated and out of control. They don't sleep well, they wake up tired and this goes on and on. They're scared not only for themselves but for their family. They wake to a reality that even they are not safe. That they had been kidding themselves forever.
I could go on and on but it would become redundant at best. Everyone knows the extent that people are hurt mentally and spiritually but we try our best to downsize it hoping that if we make it small enough it will go away. IT never does no matter how small we make it.
I wanted to write books that took our lives back. Out of nowhere people rise to the occasion and stop the crap and most importantly they move into the real rules of the game. Not ours but the rules the bad people play with. And even more important than that is that the good people tear the creeps apart and kill them not leaving any of them alive. Going through the slaughter and finishing off the wounded with out a care in the world. Yes they are the judge, jury and executioners.
Yes these people are made into vigilantes but the bad guys have only themselves to blame because they just flat pissed these people off. Maybe someday we'll all get our revenge for having our minds, bodies and spirits taken from us. I hope so and I hope I'm the one that does it. I'm finally getting old enough that prison doesn't scare me much anymore.
Did I just write all of this? Yeah, I guess so.

Talk soon

Editing

Hey,

I don't know about anyone else but if I ever get through with this editing I'm going to throw myself a party and get drunk. I don't remember it ever being this hard before but then again I'm old and I don't remember things like I used to. God has saved me from a fate worse than death I guess. It seems though that if I was a female that I'd never have more than one kid because there would be no way I'd put myself through that kind of pain again. But alas it happens all the time. It seems that women forget and carry on with the race of human kind.
I'd be carrying a big stick and if a man looked at me cross eyed I'd hit him in the crotch hoping that would give some idea of what I had been through. Then if he wanted to play with fire I might let him but whoa unto the man that tried without a painful entrance.
How in the hell did I get on that. I worry that God gave me a mind that doesn't make much sense at times. Well I just thought I'd check in and let everyone know that I'm not dead and I'm working hard to get more books on line.

Talk soon,
Bob

OMG

Hey,

That's right OMG. I hope I'm putting that down right. It looks as though the computer geek has done it. Not only can you buy the hard copy of my first book "Day of the Dogs" but you can even get it as an e-book for $5.00. What a damn deal that is. You can't buy a hamburger for that around here unless it's at McDonald's dollar meal and you know what you'll get there.
Just think the book will give you hours and hours of enjoyment while the burger is long gone. Oh well just trying a sell job on everyone. I really do hope everyone that reads it has a good time. Hopefully I can take you away from your world and set you in another and give you some time away from your worries.
That's what I look forward to the most when I'm reading. Going away for a while not having to think about what little troubles I do have. Of Course between writing and reading I don't have much time to think about my troubles anyway. "It's a good thing" as Martha Stewart would say.
Hope you enjoy.

Talk soon,
Bob

Right Brain activity

Hey,

Okay I can't go all the way and stop all of the left brain activity because of the editing but I can add to the right brain. I'm going to start on my next cover for "The Friday Night Poker Club". It should be a hoot seeing me do something that creative. Okay maybe not a hoot but at least something scary. If it's not that bad I might even post it but don't get your hopes up. Got to get to work.

Talk soon,
Bob
