Fodder For Fiction » Double Out and Back http://llleibow.com/blog Come share observations about the quirky, silly, deep, and meaningful things in life that not only entertain on the spot, but also contribute to a great store of facts and tidbits I draw from in developing character, setting, and plot in my fiction writing. From time to time, participate in innovative improvisational writing exercises. It's all fodder for fiction!

What is it?

It was originally conceived when an author on the Kindleboards saw a message from a deployed troop member saying that Amazon’s Whispernet for Kindle doesn’t work overseas. The author sent the troop his book for free by email and the idea was born, and grew. He now collects names of deployed troops who would like to receive eBooks and he has shared his list to any author who would like to donate eBooks.

What I’m going to do.

I’m going to donate Double Out and Back eBooks to military personnel by sending them prepaid ebook coupons from All Romance eBooks.

It’s my way of thanking those who serve our country overseas – and in a way, it makes me feel like a member of the USO because I’m doing my part to entertain the troops!

Surprisingly, I am invigorated to dive back into this manuscript. I have been working on novel number two for some time now, and the distance from Double Out and Back has granted me objectivity necessary to improve the prose. The changes are not huge, but the meticulous detail and agonizing over the best way to craft each paragraph, sentence, phrase, and word become a labor of love.

All of this means I am one step closer to publication. Hooray! I can’t wait for you all to read it when it comes out.

I have a long list of things to do that have nothing to do with finishing my second novel, and have everything to do with making sure as many people as possible know that my first novel is coming soon!

As part of that effort, I have added a new website to my calling card. Come and visit me if you want to learn more about me and my upcoming debut novel, Double Out and Back.
