    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Different from Wolverine 1000-Mile Boot?

    Thanks for the advice. I'm viewing the break-in as a rite of passage. :)

    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Different from Wolverine 1000-Mile Boot?

    I was intending to get the Red Wing 606 for a foul weather, knock-around boot to compliment my Wolverine 1000 mile but ended up getting the brown Red Wing GT instead. I'm placing my trust in their ability to break-in. I've had them on for a couple of hours and they are actually feeling better.

    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Different from Wolverine 1000-Mile Boot?

    I bought a pair of Wolverine 1000 mile boots in rust this weekend. Love them. I'm also going to get a pair of Red Wing 606's for foul weather.

    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Different from Wolverine 1000-Mile Boot?

    I tried the Red Wing 9011's but they hurt my ankle. Pity, I like they way they look. The search continues.

    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler Different from Wolverine 1000-Mile Boot?

    I like the patina of the well-worn GT's. I'm thinking of getting a pair.

    Writing About Places You've Never Been To

    How about a bottle of Frapin Cuvée 1888?

    Writing About Places You've Never Been To

    The old rule is you should write about what you know. However, with the advent of the internet and access to videos and photos, in addition to informative articles, do you think a writer can effectively set a novel in a location he/she has never been to?

    conquering writer's block

    Have you written an outline for you story? If not, start jotting it down. It doesn't have to be detailed, just something to give the story structure. Then start filling it in. Soon your story will be writing itself (well, not quite, but you get the idea...).

    Any writers?

    I've just about decided to go with my "franchise" character, The Lovable Rogue, and focus on my mystery novel. I can retain more control over it than I could with my screenplay. Making a movie is a very collaborative effort (which I enjoy) however that also means that your work is subject to...

    Any writers?

    Sounds like good progress! I'm currently pulled between finishing my mystery novel and a new screenplay. The novel is my sentimental favorite but the characters and plot of the screenplay are much better than what I have in the novel so far. Need to commit to one and get going!

    Does anyone own the "Indiana Leather Adventure duffle"?

    That is a nice looking duffle. I'm seriously considering it. I like the bottom compartment that can hold shoes. I wonder how it holds up?

    Any writers?

    I know many of us prefer hardcover books to ebooks however authors pooling their resources to help promote ebooks might be an productive alternative to opening a small independent publishing company. Drumming up interest for our ebooks might lead to publishing deals with established publishing...

    Any writers?

    I too share these thoughts. While I have an e-book available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble there's nothing quite like having a printed book on the bookseller's shelf.

    The Umbrella

    I bought a great umbrella from the Brooks Brothers store in San Francisco about twenty-five years ago. I don't know th brand but it was made in England. It was the best umbrella I had ever owned. It finally met its match during a very severe storm about ten years ago. Haven't had a good brolly...

    What is style?

    What is style? That is the question I address on my latest blog entry (www.thelovablerogue.com). I maintain that style is first and foremost a state of mind. Without inner style you cannot have outer style. What do you all think? Tux

    eBooks

    I'm hoping that eBooks can peacefully co-exist and compliment printed books. I would never want to give up my library of hard-bound books yet at times the convenience of an eBook is quite compelling. And I'm all for its potential to open up the literary market. I do have concerns about the...

    eBooks

    I'll be the first to admit that I love "real" books. The look, the smell, the way they feel in your hands and the way they look stacked on bookshelves up to the ceiling. Yet, as an aspiring author I am coming to appreciate the way eBooks are opening up what has been a very closed market. I...
