Do You Have a Pen: Vermont

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

I wrote another book, but it's about travel this time! This one is pretty big, actually, with close to 60 chapters. The book, Do You Have a Pen: My Time Spent on the Road, on the Rails, and in the Air, can be pre ordered or, depending on when you see this, purchased by clicking the link HERE. A new chapter will post daily and then the book will be available for immediate purchase.

I also released the rough drafts of the book chapter by chapter on my website and you can read what I wrote and get the gist of the chapters. Honestly, you don’t even need to read the book. There is enough information between the blog postings and the resources pages found HERE that the rest of the book might just be fluff.

With that said, the blog is a very first draft, mostly notes, of the final book. It’s out of order and a tad messy. This gives you a peek inside my writing process where I do the technical, eclectic part first and the voice tends to change depending on the topic I am discussing and the research I did for the chapter. Paraphrasing from common knowledge sources in the first draft gives it that eclectic look and feel. So please, enjoy my scattered brain and typos in this draft of Do You Have a Pen: My Time Spent on the Road, on the Rails, and in the Air.

The book itself its a much easier format to read plus adds a lot more of me into it as it goes on with real world, easy to grasp examples where I could put them and honestly, I would truly appreciate your purchase.

Oh sweet,  sweet,  forgettable Vermont! 

One time in my life I was the innkeeper of a bed & breakfast in Vermont.  My wife loved wearing these sweaters that showed off her rack and we had these three idiot handymen there and—ok—maybe that was CBS’  Newhart.  I’ll be honest with everyone here.  I truly don’t remember Vermont.  I know I drove through it and—that’s it.  I must explore more the next time I go that direction.  Basically,  I drove through and that was good enough to add a state to my list and check it off.  I hear there is some awesome antiquing there and a relaxing atmosphere,  though heavily wooded.  I have a good friend that is a chef and for the last few years has gone there to cook at a resort a friend of his owns,  but I lack first-hand recollection of Vermont entirely.  I can’t wait for my next opportunity to go there.  I almost feel as though I should wait to go there again before I publish this book,  but I’m not going to.

Thank you for reading this little piece of Do You Have a Pen: My Time Spent on the Road, on the Rails, and in the Air. If you received any value from what you read, I ask you to please consider purchasing this book by clicking HERE. Thank you for everything!
