leaving las vegas
I must get out of this city for a few days to clear my mind and soul. Releasing a book doesn't matter in this concrete jungle of sin and gambling. If I walked the strip with a box of my books for sale, the authorities would have me locked up. Why aren't you peddling flesh and drugs like the other animals?
That's the most insane part of my life - trying to live as a writer in a city of hustlers and pimps. When men approach me in bars, I know the surest way to make their eyes glaze over with boredom is to inform the knuckle-dragging idiots that I write stories. Most times they shuffle off without even bothering to drop their go-to 'line'. (Men have their go-to lines tucked in wallets like condoms, just in case. Always, just in case).
Don't mind me I'm just frustrated and need an adventure. It's almost summer and the road calls my name, once again. It was this time last year I drove east to settle old scores. Perhaps California this time. Tell me, readers...where should I go this time?
