Writing in Vegas - It's Good to Be Poor

Ah, Las Vegas.  To most its a city but to me it's a duty.  My Dad loves to come out and he loves to have more family with him.  I haven't been out there since I've been writing and the city does offer avenues to fiction, non-fiction and genres yet to be defined!  For me, it's a nice little break from the Dallas groove and I get to have room service.  And catch up on movies I haven't been to lately.  That's right.  Now gambling.  I just don't see the point.  You are going to loose.  I mean, yes, you may win a bit but they have these huge casinos for a reason and I think there is a profit angle to it somehow.  They play, I relax.

Today, morning started with a continental breakfast.  You can't beat a good Creme Brulee either.  The two together are magical.  I've got to shower and make it in time for my 11 A massage.  After that, back to the room for Avatar.  Then social family time. and repeat one more day.  A nice little break.

Today I've focused on rounding out the characters in Overcome.  The mss is having my hand take it and make it as complete as possible.    I realize I began some journeys that I did not complete.  I know what happened to everyone, but my job as an author is to leave you the reader understanding things completely as I do.  The challenge is to do so and not add more words to the total mss.  It's a journey to bring the first draft to final, but a powerful short journey.

Thanks for reading  From Vegas,
Reece
