Writing as a hobby...staff writer + Route 66 story
« on: April 14, 2011, 10:41:41 PM »

Writing is one of my passions ... along with my 2-year-old nephew, cars, taking pictures, road tripping, hosting radio shows, music, collections (models, HO scale train, legos), etc.


Last month, an article I wrote was published ... and I started writing more on my Route 66 story, as I noted here:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16063.0;topicseen

*grins*
Thank you, Ultra!!!!  It is good to be here...albeit not as often as I'd like....



Along with writing for Cheers and Gears sometimes, I recently joined a friend's blog, Motor Gnomes, as a Staff Writer:
http://www.motorgnomes.com/2011/03/introducing-staff-writer-cort-stevens/

This should be fun ... and a good way to encourage/foster/enliven me to write more often.  My first entry is here:
http://www.motorgnomes.com/2011/03/charging-forth/



As for my Route 66 story, I was a bit disheartened when, after adding a new section in late February 2011, the original host website was disbanded.  But, at the same time, another friend told me about a new blog of his in which my writing would fit perfectly.  So now, that blog is up and running...
http://whenthegoingisgood.com/

...and my Route 66 story, _That's The Highway_, has a new home:
http://whenthegoingisgood.com/category/route66/

All sections, including the newest section (#10 ... "Stall Tactic", written 03/12/2011), have been posted.  Future additions to the story will also be posted here ... so check back, if you are interested.
