Good on ya Chuck..... i wrote a 14 chapter autobiographical Novela in 1999.............nothing ever came of it.........i've got it on a floppy disc somewhere........eventually, i'm goin' to combine it with what would be, simply a book about my flies.......and see if the two together, might make an interesting read.

It's been a dream for as long as i can remember. I had to take a break. I was writing (or researching) 16 hours a day and it got to be like that four letter word (WURK) LOL, so I had to take a little break, but have been working on it a little this past week. Mostly correcting mistakes and rewording sentences etc, Chuck Please see our fly fishing hand made furled leaders at: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/you_wear_it_well_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_ipgZ ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Romero To: virtual fly box Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 1:44 AM Subject: [VFB] Re: QFTD you sound more than determined Chuck...........just keep followin' your dream and do just like you said, NEVER take no for an answer.

You can see in my letter to Mark that I am VERY familiar with the Wilson's work and I even had a great friend (Tony LOL) who send me a several of their "Bully Bluegill Fly" flies that was tied and autographed by the Wilson's themselves. The internet itself makes writing a book much easier nowadays than in yesteryear where you had to do a lot more asphalt pounding doing your research. Man, this is all making me think about Sowbug and how bad I want to make it there someday. I missed last year (and the year before) cause of finances and this year ain't looking so hot as we're in the process of moving and are remodeling at the new place a little along as we can afford the materials, but if there is anyway possible to make Sowbug 2010 I'll sure be there. Even if I didn't get to tie I'd get to meet ppl like yourself and all the other great folks here that go there. My wife did recently go back to work after having her knee replacement. She's only working three days a week now because of the economy, but maybe i can talk to her boss and tell him we need some Sowbug money and could he work her 8 days a week LOL.. Just like the old Beatles song..One good thing. I hate being told no, so I don't think I'm gonna go the "send off a manuscript to 100 different publishers and wait on the rejection letters" LOL, so I think I'll self publish and just put out a book on CD. But, I do have a cpl ideas of regular paper and ink publishers that I don't think will give me that NO word LOL..

I have over half a book written about fly fishing/tying for bluegills and I need to get back to work and finish it, cause they are the MOST caught species of freshwater fish caught, PERIOD, yet one of the least written about.
