Writing A Book

Rate this Entry
Not me.

Face it the audience for the novelet My Life with Logos would be cost prohibitive plus her rebutal novel--The Delusions of a Litnet Maniac would probably be a best seller with movie and sequel rights and I would have to spend the rest of my life granting interviews with People magazine. Sigh--the price of fame.

However my son Daniel (aka Guttesnipe #2) is developing a book based on Peter Heller's In My Corner updated to cover 2000 boxers. It would be an introduction to the upcoming boxers form the 2000s and interviews with them. He expects it to take about five years to put together--pesky US Army duties let alone a new bride in October.

But it warms the heart to see him pursue and make something of his interest in boxing take on a constructive form. He loves all things boxing like I love The Shadow and the Avengers (not to mention Jonah Hex).

He has about 40 pages writtten and I intend to monitor his progess as best I can and keep providing encouragement.

Shamelessly hoping for a dedication here but I suspect his future wife will get that honor.

Or our old dog Zap. Now THAT would be cool. Or even HIS dog Rocky.

    Best of luck to him. Sounds like he loves the subject and that makes all the difference in the world. And yes, that was a shameless hope.

    But maybe in your imagination, such an affair might be glorious! I have thought things in one second while waiting in line at the grocery store which might be more interesting than some tales I have persevered .
