For 20 years Robert DeLoyd had lived peacefully aboard his 26 foot sailboat tied to a mooring in Redondo Beach California. Having to vacate his mooring, but wanting to be near nature, he moved to the high desert in 1997. He then wrote a small weekly column in the local newspaper for 11 years. Robert is amazed at the life out where he lives, the folks he calls his friends, and is excited to share them with you, even the fictional ones.
“I enjoy writing... it flows out of my brain into my fingers as they fall upon the keyboard to gather into some kind of framework like building a house.
First you need the framework.
Then you add the plumbing, put electrical wiring in the walls and then paint it. This is called editing...
Don't care much for editing...
But you wouldn't want to live in a house with only the framework completed.
Once you have it all built you must go over it again and again until you are sure everything works correctly and the paint dries smoothly. Once all this is done it is ready for others to move into.
I don't get writer's block. I don't do this for fame or money. I would rather call myself a storyteller than a writer because that's who I am.”
