Writing as a hobby...staff writer + Route 66 story
***
Writing is one of my passions ... along with my 2-year-old nephew, cars, taking pictures, road tripping, hosting radio shows, music, collections (models, HO scale train, legos), etc.
Last month, an article I wrote was published ... and I started writing more on my Route 66 story, as I noted here:
https://montecarloforum.com/forum/of...tten-me-26832/
Along with writing for Cheers and Gears sometimes, I recently joined a friend's blog, Motor Gnomes, as a Staff Writer:
Introducing Staff Writer Cort Stevens! | Motor Gnomes
This should be fun ... and a good way to encourage/foster/enliven me to write more often. My first entry is here:
Charging Forth | Motor Gnomes
As for my Route 66 story, I was a bit disheartened when, after adding a new section in late February 2011, the original host website was disbanded. But, at the same time, another friend told me about a new blog of his in which my writing would fit perfectly. So now, that blog is up and running...

...and my Route 66 story, _That's The Highway_, has a new home:
When the Going is Good | Blog | Categories | Route66
All sections, including the newest section (#10 ... "Stall Tactic", written 03/12/2011), have been posted. Future additions to the story will also be posted here ... so check back, if you are interested.

Hope you both had a chance to read 'em .
I never got all that excited about writing papers for classes...but I did enjoy it.
I've written a few other things, but never finished them completely either. Never enough time. But, maybe that'll change soon ... I hope!
