Can you briefly describe your writing process for us?

Here goes –I write stream of consciousness. That means I just write and let the thoughts flow out of me. I do not use an outline. I might write two or three pages, then stop, go over grammar and spelling. The next day I re-read what I wrote the proceeding day.  Therefore, my thoughts are free and I say what is in my being.

Excerpt 2

 

On one particularly bumpy part of the trail, Michael assured Ron.

 

"You look great and natural on that mule! Like Gene Autry!” Ron was falling over now, off the mule. Ron had some choice language for Michael. After a minute he also asked, “Who is Gene Autry?”

 

“He was the cowboy who sang 'Don’t Fence Me In'!”

 

The mule train proved to be extraordinary. The views were spectacular; being inside the canyon was the best. The formation of the rocks was either tilted, straight, or flat. The horizontal layers of rocks produced the colors yellow, red, and blue. The mule and Ron were no problem; he was a natural mule rider. Thank heavens he told the mule about his relationship with Rhonda - that was the key to their bonding. Ron had a wonderful time, even if his butt was in pain. He felt the saddle was still attached to his bottom even after they left.

 

They found a bench looking at their incredible view of the North Rim. Michael turned to Ron telling him how nice and cool their friendship was. Michael agreed.

 

“I had so many friends and partners, but I was never able to have as much fun and conversations as I have had with you, Ron.”

 

“Partners like Gail, your former business partner?" Ron asked.

 

Michael playfully responded, "No, like loving, and those other things.”
