Spotty Posting

I know that my posting has been spotty lately, a cardinal sin for bloggers is a lack of consistency. If nothing else readers should be able to expect a certain consistency and continuity. That being said, it's about to get worse. The good news is that that down turn in blog posting capability will be countered by an increase in my ability to write my novel.

I've written before about my love of airports particularly as an AO for writing. I get more work done waiting for planes and on the plane than just about anywhere else. While other travelers are watching movies or eating and drinking at the terminal bars, I'm in one of those cushy chair writing away. Want to know what else is great about airports? The people.

I love watching the people in the airports. First, there are some great dressers there. Not quite on par with People of Walmart, but close. I saw a (had to be) 70 year old woman in white "shorter-alls" with a leopard print blouse and boots the other day and had to do a double take at that fashion forward look. Secondly, and I know this is rude, but I love listening into other folks' conversations. Try it some time. It's great fodder for character back stories. I met a banker once who was flying from Las Vegas to Virginia Beach one flight for an online date. That guy was a novel all by himself. Thirdly, it's great for marketing. I market my books at the airport more than anywhere else. If I strike up a conversation with a fellow traveler with a Kindle I can just about guarantee that Toe the Line or On the Edge will come up. I think that I'm a conscious airport marketer of my books because either I know that I'll probably never see this person again, so why not embarrass myself, or cause there are so many e-reader platforms found by airline travelers.

So, next three weeks. . . . expect spotty . . . but also expect lots of writing.
